Colin Hale sounds like the real deal. If he's written a book, it's next on my read list.
When I read "When I left Alaska for Russia, laden with 220 litres of fuel on board, or 55 US gallons. I could hardly lift the tail wheel off the floor and knew already, without scales or maths or charts, that the C of G was beyond the aft limit, in the divergent range." I knew he was competent, but today he wrote " but why are so many plots wanting to say, "I flew mine way beyond the aft C of G limits and it almost killed me! " What the hell do you expect?" What I expect is that if Colin flys a KR at aft CG he will arrive at his destination. If I do, I might. If a green pilot tries he won't. The KR is a delightful airplane. Fast, fun, & cheap. A novice will have his hands full at forward CG and MUST NOT carry his friends till he has it mastered. When he has it mastered, he will know what not to do.
