I've rattled the rudder and elevator of almost every KR that's been parked
at a Gathering in the last 20 years, and some of the high-timers have as
much as 3/16" of slop back there. Probably the worst is a high-time KR2
that's famous for pulling high-G maneuvers while flying with a passenger

I have had no issues with the original U channel hinges. Over 500 hours now
on my KR2S. I inspect regularly and don't see why anything more is needed.
People have talked about sloppy fitting, but that is probably due to the

No, I never heard of one failing. I have stock hinges and they are working
as well today as they did when they were installed. However, I only have
around 200 hours on the plane. It is early in the morning and I may not be
thinking clearly, but why would you need more than 4, 2 for the horiz and
I'm probably going with Dr. Dean hinges on my tail because that's what
everyone is doing now. But, has anyone heard of the one of the original U
channel hinges failing or wearing out and had to be changed? The price for
one
hinge set up is about $11.00 at Wicks. Times nine hinges or so.
