Yep, that old champ gives you a workout. And all that 65 hp. on a hot day! Tha Pietenpol is simular, keeps your attension. Think I also need a BFR. Maybee I'll rent a Cessna 150 if, First Flight has one. Well, Doug sold his plane. Some guy from Colorado bought it and is coming down Sat. & takin

Sam Bailey in Pratt, Kansas built three KR-1's and I think he used to do an aerobatic routine in one of them. I can imagine what a "high speed turning stall" is but I've never done one so don't know what my KR would do . . . something predictible I would think. It's not an unpredictable plane.

I say, "most definitely". There will be times of quite gusty crosswinds when you may wish you had MORE travel. Flight near stall is a different animal than cruise flight. There is not nearly the air loads on the controls. "Elrod wrote: > > Hi everyone: I saw the videos of how little a KR p

Pierre, I'm usually on the sidelines reading these posts, however on this one I have first hand knowledge. The KR does great aileron rolls. I have also paused for a few seconds inverted and there were no adverse flight habits. I wouldn't fly extended inverted as the airfoil is not symetrical

You may possible use full aileron in cross wind landings or take off. I never have, but I can see that it could possibly be necessary. I use full stick forward on landing once the wheels are planted, adjusted for the amount of nose forward I need to keep the tail up. I keep the tail up till it c

Hi everyone: I saw the videos of how little a KR pilot moves his control stick to fly a kr. My question is, do you ever need to use the complete travel length of the control stick? The elevator has a + - 30 degree travel, do you use the complete 30 degree to land the KR? Thank You Larry Elrod

Hi all, I am virtually done with the KR build and I hope to have it painted and testing during our summer months. My thoughts are already moving towards the flying of the KR, now I was just wondering if anybody out there has ever done aileron rolls or inverted flight with his/her KR? I know it i

Why not have the gathering at Triple Tree? It would be a chance to show off the group support and a nice little airplane. It is something that I am looking at for next year with the Quickie group. Nice part of Triple Tree is a 7000' grass runway that is smoother then any asphalt runway I have ever

Brian, Thanks. Tripple Tree is where I will be next year. I would have hitched a ride up there this year, if I were not going to the Gathering. The date is decided by the host of the chosen site, and that is normally done a long time after the Gathering, so you and I should be sure to let the
