One little side note with new aircraft, I know KR guys are cheap but it may be
a good investment to PAY to have an actual pitot static test performed by a

Maybe there's a misconception about lifting off in a KR. I can only
speak to taildraggers, but before my first flight (after several

the prop?
Thanks for sharing!

Wow.
Sorry to hear of the bouncing, etc.
I have a first flight story to relate :

I will be test flying my KR soon. Thank you for posting this. I will now review
my test plan to ensure that I have a plan ready should my aircraft decide to
leave the bounds of earth unexpectantly. One of the first things on my list is

I’m glad you’re ok, Jeb. Thanks for sharing. After some repairs, you’ll be
back at it.
