Hi Russ,
Have you tried connecting a heavy duty car battery? does that turn the motor?
A over powerful starter will not work with a small aero battery, the internal
resistance of a small battery will limit the current flow through the starter.
Just something to think about.

Hi,
Did you note the airspeed? Have accurate is your ASI?
It seems to me that as well as CG issues you may be taking off too slow and
your nodding behavior is an insipient stall.
Why are out taking off at 75% power? How do you know it's 75%?

A word of caution, I recall a few years ago a kr pilot was killed doing a test
with ballast.
I don't remember his name, but the presumed cause was a ballast bag getting
loose and ending up in the tail section

Mark,
Your right I really should, but as I said I wimped out as I don't want to end
up spinning.
Spin training isn't part of UK PPL sylabus, so I am rather nervous about
getting into a situation I can't handle.
I still contend that it would be better for our friend to build light with

Hi,
I am no expert, but as far as I can figure, a belly board will increase drag
but will not increase lift, so will not allow a lower landing speed.
The belly board drag will allow a steaper approach, it will also help you bleed
off speed during the roll out.
Whether the kr2 flaps have any si

Hi,
I am in the middle of replacing my canopy. I have searched the archive,
and find no info on how to bond a bubble to the frame.
I have inherited what I think is an original kr2 canopy, and a GRP

the screen will be bonded

Hi Joe,
Almost certainly it was carb icing, the evapouration of gas in the carb
cools the throttle body dramatically, - even on a warm day.
In UK it is probably number cause of in flight engine stops, and the
circumstances of your stop are exactly consistent.

Has anybody ever published a power/max speed graph for a typical KR2 and

There is a website http://www.mh-aerotools.de/airfoils/javaprop.htm.

I guess that indexing a prop is a US term, cos I have not heard it in

I think in many cases it is a practical choice rather than an

Assuming that the prop is well balanced, the orientation should not make
