Just be careful on that tail heavy. I saw a KR2 flat spin
fatality in the news (he was apparently doing spin testing IIRC). All
caught on his gopro all the way down. My kr will have a BRS btw.

No reason other than human error to not know the accurate C.G. location
of the airplane on the ground. Out of range aft CG can kill. I've
never done stalls with a passenger or weight in the passenger seat. On
the several occasions when I did a bi-annual flight review in the KR I
made it clear up front with the instructor, no stalls of any kind, you
can have some stick time, I'll land the airplane. If I don't hurt
anyone and don't damage the airplane I expect to pass the flight check.
After structural integrity, and equal to, is CG location. Engine
reliability is less important than either. An airplane will glide with
a dead engine if it stays in one piece and is controllable. Langford
did it three times as I recall.
