You are absolutely right when you say you will be "writing the book". That's the nature of EXPERIMENTAL aircraft. Your KR will be a unique airplane and will only be similar in performance to other KR's. That's why you're not getting any numbers. Every KR is a bit different. Different engines, wing / flap combo, no flaps, some with speed brake only, difference in flying weights, difference in pitot / static systems, landing gear, etc, etc, etc. Those numbers / procedures are what you will sort out during your initial 40 hours of testing. Welcome to the wonderful world of EXPERIMENTAL aviation. Larry Flesner
