Most KR-2 aircraft are rated for negative G for the airframe. The classic
Barrel Roll is intended to be a positive G maneuver. There is always a
possibility of inadvertently going negative G or becoming disoriented and
loosing control of the aircraft. Most KR-2 aircraft are not built with
inverted fuel systems that incorporate "flop-tubes" in the fuel tank,
sealing vents, or pressure carbs. Engine oil systems generally do not
provide continuous oil lubrication while inverted unless fitted with oil
scavenger pumps and crankcase sealing.
Pilot and passenger seat belts need to be rated and properly used for
inverted flight. Instruction and endorsement by a qualified flight
instructor is highly recommended. Most countries it is a legal requirement.
Stay safe.

Hi KR friends,
I am not having the intention to do heavy acrobatics but I really want to
learn to do a Barrel roll.I have acrobatics experience so that should not be
the problem.
Someone out there who knows the entry speed to start with the manoeuvre?
Thanks
