Having been there, done that (as a passenger, not a pilot) Huey's only fly nose down on take off (aggressive) and climb out... not the normal flight attitude (dead "a" straight and level with a good driver [USMC 71 - 73]). I love 'em to this day.

Myron, I was the third person to fly the new airfoil. Troy Petteway being first and Dean Selby second. I followed the instructions of the designers of the airfoil and set the incidence at 1? at the root and set the washout per their specs. Personally, I think you are on a path to have a KR which flies nose down like a Huey. That is the way the older KR's flew and it is beyond me why you would want that. You say it will improve forward viewing. Maybe so if you want to look at the ground. My KR flies level, my visibility is great, my plane has flown hands off for five minutes as it is very stable. Maybe I am not correctly following what you are doing but if I were you, I certainly would not deviate from what the experts have proven to be an exceptional airfoil for the KR.
