I did experience the same. I standard KR2S cannot be trimmed. It will keep the trim speed for a maximum of 30 seconds before it will climb or descend and not return to the trim speed Cheers Christian OE-VPD - My friend Aube Coote ( Retired Flying Instruc

Jeff, I would be interested to know what, if any, modifications your KR has that might be responsible for its better than average stability? Is it a KR2 or 2S? Where was your CG vs the aft face of the forward spar (or some other reference) during the recent "hands off" stability check? Thanks,
