I agree with DJ, and I think other kitplane makers do too. Recently the designer of the CX4 (an aluminum single-seat design about 10 years old), discovered the cable attachment method on the rudder was causing fatigue cracks in the rudder cables of his prototype. So he redesigned the part and ema

Ref the spinning debate- at the 1891 gathering ,I met John Scheffer? who had survived a flat spin into trees ,fortunately skewering himself on a broken branch thus avoiding earthly contact.. He might have some relevant input. Regards to all, Mac [image: View album]

Making revisions to aircraft designs that have already been sold will invite law suites from predatory types. The principle that will be invoked is: You new something was wrong with your design because you made a change. Therefore, you are now admitting to some liability and must pay for your

KR> KR-2 in "Aftermath", more about spins

Hi Jeff I for one am thankful for your wisdom. I am one of the great unwashed who has never completed a fully developed spin (it not being required as part of the standard PPL syllabus) so I am grateful that those who have the knowledge are happy to share with the rest of us. Many thanks Gavin M

KR> KR-2 in "Aftermath", more about spins

Mark L and I were having a short conversation off line about the "Aftermath KR-2", controls and spins. I started a write up about incipient spins vs fully developed spins. Then I realized that many pilots may not know the difference. When one talks about having done spin testing in an aircraf

KR> KR-2 in "Aftermath"

I didn't mean writing to me or to the KR group about it. I meant someone should write to Flying Magazine about it. You sound like that person if you spin your plane and have advice on how to do it safety. This also brings up something else I've wondered about. Why have so many gross errors in the

As far as the cg range is concerned, 15% to 35% Mac is probably accurate. The problem comes with understanding what the Mac is...and from what I've seen there aren't very many krs with the same Mac. I won't calculate mine till I'm done but i guarantee it will be smaller than the plans. https://si

These aren't necessarily errors...any airplane is a flying set of compromises...you trade stability for speed...durability for lightweight. No plane is perfect. It's up to the pilot to understand these compromises. https://sites.google.com/site/mykr2stretch/ https://sites.google.com/site/mykr2str
