Last week i took our kr2 for the first time alone for a long ride.
I did in May my first solo but that was to long ago, so I get uncomptible to go alone. So Iasked my test pilot to go with me. He come to my plane and there was a lot off crosswind, I told him this is to much 8 till 10 kts, he said thats a good practice. So we went up everyting went well...it was indeed good practice. Last week, the wind was calm I went to the airport took the plane out and took off.......alone. I did a 40 min flight and 3 landings, the were perfect. The feeling was great. After a brake and some food and water I decited to go for a second run. This was even more relaxed, I get more comfertable with the plane, did some 360 for practice and I saw the clouds where at 3000 ft so I decited to do some cloudchasing.....that feeling was great, unbeliveble to do this with our own plane...yesss. The (3) landings after 45 min where again good and easy, 70kts final 60kts short final full flaps will be my numbers for this moment. Wheel pant are now on, 2050 rpm is I think 120kts for the cruisespeed.... I hoped it was more but I dont think so. After I installed the new cooler is the engine still running hot in climb. So I need to measere the pressure before and after the cooler before I go further. At this moment the plane is flyeble so I will work first to my flight experiance. the feeling is so great. stef Steph and his dad are building the KR-2S see http://www.masttotaalconcept.nl/kr2 http://www.masttotaalconcept.nl/kr2 _______________________________________________ Search the KRnet Archives at https://www.mail-archive.com/krnet@list.krnet.org/.
