CDI ignition.

Okay, I'll bite... what kind of trim control does a KR ha
Why would anyone say you can't trim out a KR2?
My Kr2 can be trimmed out just fine and easily with a simple spring balance
trim mechanism and it is also Dynamically stable in pitch as any other aircraft
on the forward C of G limit. The aircraft only becomes neutrally stable in
pitch at 6 inches
760 odd hours in a stock kr (try gear) heavy engine. Needs minimum 70kg pilot
to fly. First flight scared me with PIO. After that no other aircraft compares
to the pleasure I get from my Kr2 ( except my mates 300 hp turbo glass air,
it’s also very light on the side joystick.
Just fly it and
I must not be the right person to train with, cause apparently I don't know

I have the ray allen servo for pitch trim and recently added a dynon servo

After 27 years of flying a stock kr2 . I Still hear here people complaining
about how the airplane is pitch sensitive. Maybe there is something to be
said for pilot training. would not change a thing.Beech Bonanza is pitch
sensitive too. Tommy W.

After the paperwork check the inspector wanted to fly. It should be the

Fire the inspector, report him to the FAA and don't do anything to your
plane to make it unsafe.
If an inspector that had no time in a KR and who I didn't know asked,
insisted, to fly my plane, I would tell him to take a hike.

Might ask the inspector for his log book to see if he has been previously
checked out in KR. Probably illegal for him to fly it without being checked
out
in it first.

I got the impression this flight was done outside the US.
Which could explain the diversity the inspector had. I could be wrong.

Mr. Monday;
Single-engine land. If he is a private pilot he can fly a KR. Whether or
not the insurance company likes the fact that he is flying a KR is a different
issue.

Netters,
thanks for your comments:
-) the flight was in LOGF Austria (Europe)
-) I build an will have to register the airplane in Austria under the
following conditions:
-) 51 percent like with the FAA
-) extensive 60 page test protocols to complete
-) 50 hours total test
