CongratulationsA Beautiful plane. My KR had insufficient nose up trim when it first flew as well. I found the horizontal stab angle of incidence to be off by 1 degree. I added trim to the bottom of the elevator and flew it 500 hrs that way. Eventually, I built a much larger horizontal stab and elevator, and corrected the incidence when I mounted the new stab.
Job well done. -Jeff Scott North Arkansas > Sent: Friday, May 03, 2019 at 11:57 AM > From: "Stef den Boer via KRnet" <krnet@list.krnet.org> > To: krnet <krnet@list.krnet.org> > Cc: "Stef den Boer" <stefk...@ziggo.nl> > Subject: KR> My baby is flying!!!!! > > Hi my Friend, > > I can tell you that the KR family is grown. > > This week was the PH-TDB for the first time airborn.
