What a first flight story John, and it makes my hair standing while reading through your horrifying narratives about the crazy guy! Hey, my hat off to him, despite his "successful took off" was forced by a stuck throttle, but it actually proved my dream of flying my KR2 into the air and coming down

Was it your first take off on your KR2 Jeb? How high did you actually lift your nose up, and at what air speed when all this happens? Did it damage the prop? Thanks for sharing! Dr. Hsu On Fri, Apr 16, 2021, 2:13 PM jeb wrote: > I'm writing this so others won't make the same mistakes I made t

Wow. Sorry to hear of the bouncing, etc. I have a first flight story to relate : My house is the last one at the south west end of 8W5, Apex airpark. A couple of years back a guy showed up with a delta wing pusher powered weight steered trike. He ran the length of the runway over and over, nev

Jeb I will be test flying my KR soon. Thank you for posting this. I will now review my test plan to ensure that I have a plan ready should my aircraft decide to leave the bounds of earth unexpectantly. One of the first things on my list is to secure as much recent experience as I possibly can.

I have never spun my KR, but I stalled the KR2S many times, and the KR2 many more. It's simply a non-event in both cases, with one notable exception (an ill-advised accelerated stall, the details of which will require copious amounts of beer at the Gathering campfire to extract from me).

I'm writing this so others won't make the same mistakes I made today. We had a rare East breeze today, I wanted to see if I could lift the nose, Well, I did - it took off and I was surprised, I tried to get it back down, but PIOs and I hit hard and bounced - 3 times, the last time was hard, and i
