Andrew Angellotti founded spingarage, LLC to market disruptive flight test hardware. He uses a KR-2 for his test mule. I saw it at the Mohave Experimental Fly-in this year. He's probably worth talking to regarding the KR's spin idiosyncrasies. Tristan > On Sep 13, 2017, at 7:28 AM, Jeff Scott

I don't know of anyone that has described slats or Vortex Generators (VGs) as a spin prevention device. They may contribute in a small way by delaying aerodynamic stall. However, if the plane can stall, it can also spin. Vortex Generators: There is a lot of debate an a lot of wild claims in t
