it has stability concerns, does not wear you out on cross country
flights, even in rough air. If a wing dips and w
Had an aggressive WOT spring that would not let the throttle butterfly
return to idle. Removed the spring and idle works ok. Need to get another
lighter spring for the WOT. (The WOT spring sets the throttle open in case
the throttle cable breaks or disconnects in flight.)

less stable. Jim Faughn started really pressing this issue many years ago,
and I believe that now all KR builders have adopted the standard envelop for
