We have a few Longeze here in our airfield but one, in particular, that is just now finishing up their 40hrs. It has a Lyc 320 on it. If this matches somewhat what you have I will get their weight and balance and copy it.  Luis R Claudio, KHQZ KR2S N8981S Dallas, Texas On Friday, August 7, 2

I helped a friend do the weight and balance on his Longeze this afternoon.  What a goat rodeo. The nose won't stay down in level attitude without a gallon jug of water on the nose.  They don't give you a datum other than to check that the instrument panel is 110 inches forward of the main gea

I will probably fly with my friend in his RV10 to this meet since my KR too is not ready. The RV10 is a pretty awesome airplane and will be lots of fun for our KR group to see. Love the idea. BTW... at least one seat is available on the RV from Dallas. Let me know if you are interested in flyin

I will be helping a Long EZ owner perform weight and balance in a couple of hours.  Can anyone point me to a web page that gives me the "level" point and datum for a Long EZ?  I will need it by 1:00Pm central time usa.  I have the form to calculate but it doesn't give the level point or datum

Yes Larry, I do realize the ultimate test of KRs in the real world, which has been absolutely no less than amazing, given there was no fatal injuries or casualties ever happened in the past, perhaps?! Stay safe & fly high! Dr. Hsu On Fri, Aug 7, 2020, 9:11 AM Flesner via KRnet wrote: > On

Thanks Robert for the info, and it is much appreciated! Yes, structure integrity is precisely my concerns to put in a BRS into such a small bird, due to its primarily wood and foam/fiber glass structure design The brighter part of the equation is that, the whole thing is so light, with around 1

Dr. Hsu, There are lots of other solutions for the wing gap besides vinyl tape, I've seen fiberglass, aluminum and old Venetian Blinds used. All builder preference. You could fly a KR without a covering for the gaps if you like as well. For stowable wings, you could just build a cradle to carr
