Great story.
Spins are not approved for KR. I would never intentionally try either.

Has the KR been spin tested at max fore and aft CG?
Correct me pls, but I thought the main reason for removing spinning from
the sylabus was a number of fatal accidents during spin training.
Yes the number of fatal accidents is the reason, but not during training,
but after the checkride. Too many Pvt Pilots were demonstrating spins to

Only the canard planes (mainly Rutan designs) won't spin. If you don't know
how to recover the KR, you have a reasonable chance of becoming one of the
statistics of those who die due to a low altitude
That's a bit of a blanket statement. Several certified light aircraft (Grumman
Yankee, and Cirrus SR-20/22 come to mind) are no spin aircraft that tend to go
flat and become unrecoverable. Spin recovery for the Cirrus is to pull the BRS.
Having said that, I have spun my KR. It was actually r
Ercoupes don't spin, either.

Hi,
How does the KR handle spins? The Robin on which I've done all my flying
has great difficulty recovering from a spin, and I live in quiet
nervousness when I'm flying. I watch my airspeed like a hawk. It would be
nice to fly a plane which can at least recover from a spin if necessary.

>How does the KR handle spins?
While most of the KR drivers do not spin them, the design should handle
spins beautifully. I have not gotten my plane in the air; however, I have
heard of flyers who have wrung them out.

Flat spins DO NOT occur due to particular inputs from the pilot but rather as a
response from the aircraft AFTER being stalled with too far aft CG. A spin is a
non aerodynamic maneuver where the aircraft is NOT flying, and is the result of
an aggravated stall. The rotation of the aircra

I will tell you why one would want to spin the KR, because it's fun.
Very seldom did I fly without doing a spin of two, it's fun. All this
