A 20 h of tail dragger flight (both with instructor and solo) on a conventional tail dragger (not the KR2) are a good idea. I did it on a P 19 Scricciolo while building my KR2 I-BUZZ and I had no problem when I flew I-BUZZ from the first time on. The only rule to remember all time is "don't stop being concentrated until the plane runs".

I am currently building my KR-2 and learning to fly also. I am close to my checkride and upon passing and receiving my license I intend to start building TD time with the head instructor at the HAFB Aero Club in his personal plane. A good friend of mine (the guy that sold me one of my KR-2 kits) recently had the opportunity to fly a KR-2 and told me that in his opinion I should get several hundred hours flying time in conventional geared airplanes before attempting to fly my KR-2. Now my friend started flying in his teens and has been at it for over 40 years so I value his opinion and I know he is not trying to "scare me off" my course. This is my request- Would those of you out there who are flying or have flown the KR-2 series of aircraft tell those of us who are aspiring to be KR-2 pilots how much TD time you had logged before your first KR-2 flight? Realizing that all pilots are not created equal, it would still be useful to know how experienced you all were when you started.
