there are no numbers published on the negative side, which leads me to
question the legitimacy of the 9+ for the KR-1 and 7+ for the KR-2 on

My set of plans went with the KR when it was sold but I recall the plans
stated +/-7 G at 800 pounds. I'm assuming that was the "design"
limits. In my 34 years in the KR community I'm not aware of any reason
to discount that claim. In my "non-engineering" understanding of the
design I'm not sure why it would be weaker in one direction than the
other. The spar caps top and bottom are the same dimension in the main
wings and horizontal stabilizer and the wing attach fittings are the
same top and bottom.
Someone with current plans might post the exact claim made in the plans.
