KR Community, I have undertaken a fairly thorough flight test program and handling qualities investigation on my KR2 that I found to be a little bit squirrelly compared to other somewhat similar types (Pitts, Extra, C-150 Aerobat, etc). Although it was fun to fly in most respects, its limitations left me unenthusiastic to fly the KR on pretty great days that I would fly most any other airplane. I found myself only wanting to fly the KR on absolutely ideal days; and on other days would find my ability to fly to the levels of accuracy and precision that I expect difficult. My goal was use established flight test protocols to determine what the root cause was and what could be done to make the airplane more enjoyable and useful.
I had planned to present my findings and options to consider if you find similar qualities in your KR at the gathering, but was limited by time and weather and unable to attend. I would be willing to present my briefing via Zoom on Sept 28 or 29th at 20:00 EDT if there are several people interested. Please let me know if you are interested and which day you prefer so I can reserve that time. I’m planning on 90 minutes for the presentation and a few questions. As an alternative, I may upload it to YouTube if there is not enough interest as I believe the information gained to be valuable to the community. I think an interactive platform would be best, though. Thank you. Adam Deem
