Of those who fly their KR2 off of a grass runway; what distance to take off and land, tail wheel or tri gear, engine type and horse power if you please. My hanger is on a grass strip. Want to be able to take off and land at my home field. Thank you! Joe Nunley

That is a great video, I was watching the right hand inputs and the video really shows what a nice responsive airplane that is. Also. I think that is a beautiful panel, neat and tidy with everything one needs. Thanks for posting that. Bob R
