Colin,
There is a lot of band width "wasted" on a lot of subjects. Check the
archives for "Congratulations"--there isn't much info under that
topic--and it takes up a lot of bandwidth, but it does serve to encourage
builders. We could just tell everyone who has questions on any KR
subject to forg

hed that an LSA KR would not still be a KR - I don't
remember taking a vote!
BTW Dana is building a RV-7 not a 8.
Now can we play nice and quit trying to divide the list into opposing camps?

Thankfully it is still Friday!!
Let's see.I think I finally have it.
It is a KR if you:
stretch it 14 inches,
make it 6 inches wider,
make the sides vertical,
build it 200+ pounds over plans gross wt.,
use a different airfoil,
install an O235,
change the horizontal airfoil,
use Dr. Dean Hinges,
Thanks for bringing some constructive "insight" to the list Rich. Your points
are all well made and need to be considered by anyone wishing to carry on in
the tradition that Ken Rand really intended for the KR.
It is supposed to be a simple, lightweight, efficient aircraft that can be
built b

Pardon me but I didn't snip the note below because it confuses me a great
deal - first I don't understand why 3 or 4 members of the list seem so dead
against a discussion
First it's a LSA, and second, you can't possibly be serious about "dangerous"
landings in a motorglider with 27 foot wings.
We regularly land gliders with 40 to 60 foot wingspans, with and without
motors, in 20 to 30 mile an hour crosswinds. Yes you do need some training, but
its not dangerou

I deleted these posts, after reading them. If it says LSA or ELSA, I
usually delete them after a quick scan, but these looked like they were
worth reading, so I did. And, after leaving the computer, I found that I
was still thinking about the points that both Rich and Dennis made.
They are both

I had a friend email me a photo of his KR and the following comments, His
has a stall of 36 kts
Others in Australia has fitted 27 foot + wing span and dropped the stall
speed down to improve the ultra light rego.
Note sure if this is what you guys are on about?

Thanks Dan, I appreciate your comments. You're right of course, unfortunately
we will never know what Ken would have done had things turned out differently.
What I meant by "simple" was that the original KR-1 and 2 were, retractable
gear aside, "simple" and simply constructed aircraft.

Hey! show us the pictures . that is one way to do it, but just changing
the airfoil to a low speed airifoil could also solve both problems of
stall speed and top speed.

Each KR is a unique aircraft not a production a/c or ELSA production. Everyone
sees that the LSA exceed the FAA weights, speed V max & V stall and as far as I
can see the FAA doesn't really make anyone PROVE that the "numbers" conform.
Its just hype! So that in reality someone can make a "resemb
there and then do
what you think is best. Lets not start this thread over again...
