Jeff's post was awesome....and made me smile a lot. This is should be
the "standard" for how to train a new KR pilot. I rode with several KR
pilots over the years before I first flew mine, and even then, I needed
some Special High Intensity Training from a current KR pilot in my own
KR, just to get the landings figured out. Even now, after nearly 4000
landings, there are still surprises sometimes, especially on our narrow
and short runway here.
I thought maybe my gear alignment needed to be checked, so this weekend
I killed a day doing an excruciatingly accurate alignment check. The
results were 0.44 degrees toe out when level (pilot represented by
concrete blocks....which is probably accurate in more ways than just
weight), and 0.22 degrees in tail down configuration. To me, that's
close enough to perfect. The previous check several years ago showed
0.58 degrees tow in. Camber is right on....90.0 on one side, and 89.8
on the other....and there are no shims on either side. Close enough for
KR work!
I also rechecked the weight and balance, and am now fixing problems in
several subsystems, the most important of which was replacing my nearly
seized fuel on/off valve with a new valve, etc, etc.....
