Hey, one of the best (most popular) homebuilts on the market is sensitive to pitch, the RV. However, the KR2 ( don't know about the S ), is "short coupled", which is what contributes to the sensitivity. I have a KR2, learned to fly a conventional gear airplane in a KR2, and I don't find the sensitivity to be anywhere near the problem that it is made out to be.
You want to add more tail, you got a KR2 in the works, add more tail and show everyone how much difference it makes. See N64KR at http://KRBuilder.org - Then click on the pics See you at the 2010 - KR Gathering in Richmond, Ky - I39 There is a time for building and a time for FLYING and the time for Flying has begun. Daniel R. Heath - Lexington, SC -----Original Message----- The article attributes some of that improvement to the new airfoil but in fact the airfoil has very little to do with pitch stability. It all comes from the tail. A lot of people think that "most homebuilts are sensitive in pitch" but there is no reason why that has to be the case. Add a bit of tail area and the sensitivity will go away and the airplane will be safer and more fun to fly. >>What you need to do is go to KRnet and read Bill Reents acount of flying >>the KR-1 for 21 years. Before he flying it he taxie dit fo 10 hours to get the pitch feel _______________________________________ Search the KRnet Archives at http://www.maddyhome.com/krsrch/index.jsp to UNsubscribe from KRnet, send a message to krnet-le...@mylist.net please see other KRnet info at http://www.krnet.org/info.html
