Pete,
Put together a test plan for each and every planned flight. No long drawn
out tome; just a check off page to clip to your knee board to make a note or
enter a number so you don't forget what you were supposed to be doing when
you were doing it.
Consult with your EAA Chapter Flight Advisor.
Get as many flights as you can in different aircraft but similar to your
KR-2: all low wing, about 100 hp, 8 to 12 pound wing loading and at least
120 mph cruise. None of these many different airplanes will be like your
KR-2. The principle here is: When you go for your first flight in your
KR-2, it will be just another different airplane that you will make do just
what you intend for it to do. With that attitude and recent experience, You
have become the test pilot.

That time had finally come as the FAA will be coming on Thursday this week
the inspect and hopefully bless N729PK!! So now comes flight testing which
has me in a quandary as I'm being advised not to conduct the first flight
myself as I am too invested in the plane having spent over a decade building
it. I have been taking dual instruction to knock the rust off my flying
skills, but unfortunately it's in a 172. There is nothing close a a KR
anywhere near the area. Is there anyone in the KR community to assist me as
a start Phase 1? Any and all assistance and advise would be GREATLY
appreciated.
Hopeful in Ohio,
Pete Klapp, N729PK
