I'm with you , Pete. With 1300+ hours in my log I'd have to say MY
KR is one of the nicest, easiest flying airplanes I've ever
flown. A
Andy,
My guess is that you flew with another guy in the plane both times. That
puts the CG aft, and the plane is at its worst behavior. They are a joy to
fly solo, but a little twitchy with a passenger, and the climb is a little
disappointing with a passenger, even with a big Corvair. And as
Andy,
I don't recognize your experience, a kr with a reasonable cg is a pussycat. A
kr with 350lb of man meat and low tanks may well be a real handful.
I suggest you check out the cg, in uk we cannot legally fly a standard kr2 two
up because of concerns about the behaviour with rearward cg.
A
have had the opportunity to test
fly 4 KR's and it worked with all 4. Have fun try it again. If there are 2 of
you in the plane you are properly real close to aft CG anyway.

After flying 2 kr2 planes last week, one of which is an 'S' model, I have

how difficult it is. I'm an infant 300hr pilot, commercial, IFR, aerobatics,
high performance and tailwheel endorsed. It took me 45min at altit
