Made the third flight on my KR-2 early this morning just after sun rise when

pattern, approaches to stall and flap deployment. Get definite pitch down
with each increasing notch of flaps. Elevator trim tab system works good
Mark J. Sorry to hear the bad news, but really glad to read the you and your
plane were not hurt.
I got a chance to put 9 tenths on the plane today and test the second
iteration of the fixed trim tab. It now requires only a small amount of
additional trim to fly level, so I will keep it like that

of at least twenty pilots, but it sounds like y

Hey no cheating by reading the end first to see if I survive.
Got to the hanger at 5:30 am and started the engine preheater. The
