Yes I was at idle but maybe not full aft. It was at 50 and sinking at 500 fpm so I called it at that point. I may try pushing it further to just see what it does. Right now I really need to learn how to land the darn thing. It's way different that when I flew it with tri-gear. Craig N886MJ

Thanks. I feel like I just built an airplane. De-constructing and repair is almost worse that just starting from scratch. No power on stalls on my test cards. I have no reason to climb that abruptly so I should never get in that situation. Craig N886MJ > On 08/18/2022 5:50 PM CDT Mark

I found them informative as well My question (in addition to John's points) is are there both power on stalls and similar extreme (exceed AOA etc.) on your cards? Not saying you have to do them, but, well, inquiring minds, and so on... Having said that, looks like you did an awesome job on

Congrats Craig! Nice effort on creating and sharing a complete flight report. And I'm glad to see you have an AOA indicator. A comment about the stalls on your Video #3. Both my first KR2 and my current KR2S slow and eventually mush down when power goes to an idle and the stick is held steady back
