CongratulationsA Beautiful plane. My KR had insufficient nose up trim when it first flew as well. I found the horizontal stab angle of incidence to be off by 1 degree. I added trim to the bottom of the elevator and flew it 500 hrs that way. Eventually, I built a much larger horizontal stab

No longer wing, stick a bit shaking, but it would not drop the nose or wing. My test pilot stoped with 25 kts. Exact numbers i will report. Stef > Op 3 mei 2019 om 20:13 schreef Rogelio Serrano via KRnet > : > > > Congratulations! > > How did you achaive the 25 kt stall speed? Longer wing? >

I didn't explain that properlyThe whole tab is 75mm wide, with 30mm hanging off the surface and 30mm hanging to the aft. A photo will help, but I think you get the picture. Also, springs on the elevator can excite flutter, so that I wouldn't rush in that direction yet. Mark Langford, Huntsv
