KR> Cowling, altitudes, stall spin

When flying at high altitudes (as I almost always do) it becomes even more important to have a Mode c transponder. Once you have the transponder your size is not that important. Up at those altitudes and speeds the big planes you worry about all have TCAS and are talking to controllers and I susp

Doran, On the trip to MVN last year, the Black Bird was at a GPS altitude of 13,850 going over the clouds at the peak of the Smokey mount range. She was in communication with ATC for the trip up and back. This bird is a "climbing fool", she just loves it. Besides that, altitude is your friend.

Not a lot of choice about it since the airport is at 7200'MSL. ?I know Mike Stirewalt is often times crossing the High Sierras. Size of the craft is irrelevent. ?My KR outperforms the Cirus SR-20s, Cessna 182 and 206, and most of the Mooneys. ?No reason why I wouldn't use the same airspace. ?I

As Larry pointed out, KRs don't necessarily follow the rule of being able to control the plane about the roll axis with the rudder...that's not a rule that applies to Experimentals. I know N56ML barely shows any sign of complying with that, and even then, it's accompanied by nose up or down moveme

Hello All, Just a quick twi cents worth. My cowl installation (picked up from Sid) is coming along slow but sure. Modifying one to fit is probably almost as much work as making a new one but still very satisfying and much better looking than my original Cowl. Thanks Sid! N186 RC was fi
