not true.)

My max speed is TAS confirmed within 1 knot (assuming I can read my ASI that
close) by a four direction average GPS ground speed. Measurements were
taken after a few minutes stabilization at a density altitude of about 4000
+/-1000 ft, on several different days.

I flew to KMNN (Marion, OH) today to attend the MERFI (Mid-Eastern Regional
Fly-In.) It was beautiful weather and a pleasent flight both directions,
only 100 nautical miles from KHAO. I didn't see any other KR's there today,
but there were several owners and builders. I got lots of positive c
This spreadsheet could be very useful. The more data people submit, the
more useful it will be. Please check it out and, if you have a flying KR,
send your data to Orma at o...@aviation-mechanics.com

Recently added pants to my tri-gear. No noticeable trim effect. I always
have to use nose up trim. Quite a bit when flying at 80 kts. or less.
Simultaneously adding the pants and wing gap covers (vertical blinds) added
about 12 knots (10%) to top speed.

For comparison, my KR-2 weighs 620 lbs empty, has tricycle gear with home
made wheel pants (but no fairings), wasn't built super clean (or straight)
in general, has a very blunt cowl (with bumps for spark plugs and engine
mount), has Diehl wings and is powered by an A65 with a 3 blade prop. Al
I plan to fly in on Sunday (weather permitting) and stay about 2 or 3 days.
I plan to camp. I should arrive at KHFX about noon.

Perhaps the stopped prop is less drag because it's stalled.
Below is data taken from my flight test. My idle setting was about 800 to
900 rpm, a little high, at the time. Speeds are indicated knots. My plane
stalls at about 50 knots indicated so I didn't check the glide below 60 kts.

Maybe this table will be easier to read.

Lots of good info in AC 89-90A and AC 20-27F.

AC 89-90 says the flight test plan should be completed before the "first
flight". It also includes a sample "checklist for condition inspection",
appendix 1.

I'll try to get the Porkopolis Pig there, depending on the weather, etc.
It's only half as far as Lakeland for me. If I make it, I'll be in HBC.

Jim,
I am building another plane (other than KR-2) which uses a fuel injected
aircraft engine. The plane has two tanks. The returned fuel is switched by
the fuel valve (separate circuit from supply) so as to return to the fuel
tank that is currently supplying fuel. The fuel that is returned
