Hi, I am new to the KR list. This is great information for me. I am considering moving from the Yankee that I currently own as well as an Avid Flyer which is even lighter on the controls and a tail dragger to a KR2. Sounds like I might not have too much difficulty making the switch. Thanks, Da

I would highly recommend the Yankee.  I owned one for years and it would be a much better choice than an RV as they are too easy to fly.  The Yankee is fairly quick on the controls, climbs like an anemic kid with a cold but does act a lot like a KR except during landing where it sinks like a roc

I had a Sterba prop with varnish that had gotten stuck to my prop spacer a while back and no amount of puling on the prop would loosen it up and hitting it or trying to pry it off would have definitely damaged the wood. I loosened the bolts 1/8" and started up the engine and prop cleanly unstuck i

If push comes to shove, your wife's iron will do the job. I have removed a 4' section from the side by using an iron. (no steam) to heat the plywood over the glue line and then prying up the wood and holding it up for a few seconds to keep it from sticking again when you move on to another area.
