I'm pleased to hear others have rolled their KRs! This was one of several deciding factors in building a KR2S over a Cozy Mk 4. I was not sure how serious the +/- 7 G's really was or if it was another possible, but improbable statistic like the "200 MPH" speed in the plans!
As a low time pilot (less than 100 hrs) I'm not ready for it, but glad to hear its ready when I am! Thanks for all your great responses.
