Well, the deed is done. Flew it for about a half hour tonight. Everything worked as it should have. Takeoff was uneventful. Accelerated to about 40, brought the tail up, lifted off at about 60ish. Leveled off in ground effect and accelerated to 100. Let it climb out at about 110mph showing about

Jeff, I don't think you'll have any problem at all with Pete's KR2S. I'd first do a few stalls to see exactly what the IAS is that it stalls at, and then come in above that (ground effect will ensure that you can land slower than you stall at altitude, but you knew that) and just wait for it to s

Hi guys, I just wanted to let you know today I got a chance to go for a flight with Ken Thomas in his KR-2S. It has a jabiru 3300 engine in it putting out 120 hp, so even with the two of us and full fuel we got off the ground rather quickly. I had talked to Ken last Friday since I am thinking a

Ken figured with the 2 of us and full fuel the plane was grossing about 1230 lbs and we broke ground in about 1000 ft, then held it in ground effect till reaching 90 knots or so. I don't think he had a vsi in the panel, but If I had to guess I'd say we were climbing at about 1000 fpm. Upon reach
