are all unique and any ammount of training won't pepare you for YOUR
ENCOUNTER WITH FATE!!
It's all down to you in the end.
Happy new year to you and yours !

All the best Mark. Glad to hear you are OK.
I know just how you feel.
Sounds like similar damage as mine had.
They are a mighty aircraft, and easy to repair.
It will be interesting to see your next engine design.

I too have an autopilot installed in my KR2S but not flown yet. It is based on
Dynon D180, a control head (cumbersome to operate directly from the D180) and 2

Hi Joe
I would be very interested to see some pics of your autopilot installation.
