The KR is a beefy airplane for it's size but there are limits to any
good thing. Any
The information I have is that the KR is designed/specified for 6g at 900lbs

OK as long as it's accompanied by a corresponding reduction in maximum g's.
For example, 6g at 900lbs represents the same load as 4g at 1350 lbs.

Thinking about the wings for use, I thought about a few things to consider.
It has been my study that low wings increase climb rate, and based on reports
effect the cruise speed with increased drag. But, this negative effect on
cruise speed is only significant at lower altitudes. The longer wing
Hey Colin I miss something or what? Learned? NOT just a pile of hours
