NetHeads,
I got back home this afternoon, and although it was pretty windy and gusty, I
thought I'd go out to the airport and see if things calmed down late in the day
like they usually do. When I got there things were fairly calm, so I pulled
the plane out and fired it up (instant start after

GOOD DECISION
Just a general question to those who do fly their KRs in wind, after getting
the standard briefing that goes along with the type of crosswinds we are
currently discussing, usually "moderate turbulence below 12,000", what kind
of ride are we talking about here.
The question arises after flying
Hello John and Net
"moderate turbulence below 12,000",
The kind of wind that I was in yesterday did not include a warning for
turbulence, and I would consider it mild. At times the plane was in a
constant bounce and weathervane. The turn and bank was swinging from side
to side non stop and
I am changing jobs, and I will no lnger be using this email address. Can you
please take me off the list for the time being?
Thanks

Spring time in the Southwest mountains makes for some interesting flying. I
guess you're looking for a comparison of the ride in a KR vs the ride through
the same turbulance in your Skylane. Once you get past worrying about every
glued joint in the plane, the KR does surprisingly well in turb
Hello Net
It is not KR related, but I just heard that at the airport (KOZW)that I had
difficulty landing and departing from, that an RV ground looped and flipped
after I had departed.

Hello Joe
I'm sorry, I've read your lines three times and still don't understand what
you are talking about. Perhaps more explanation is in order. The bottom
line for me is to try an approach to an airport, if I don't feel perfectly
comfortable attempting the landing, I'll go somewhere else.

Heck Mark the little airport that I was at yesterday didn't have more then
40' of width, and if you don't stay on the centerline, when the tail of the
KR goes down and you loose forward visibility, you're in trouble.
Mark send me your address so I can send the CD to you

Exactly. Take, for example, the main runways at Laredo International, where
I did most of my early training.
I would get in a bunch more flying time with big round runways. I'm all for
it. :o)

Several questions need to be asked of the RV pilot before rendering any form of
evaluation of whether he made a good call or not, and just got bit by
unexpected wind gusts.
How much recency did he have at the time of the accident?
How much of that time was cross country, and how much was maintai

It is getting REAL black in a lot of places with lots of neat color "things"

Hello Net
After accepting an invite from Keith, another KR net member to come to Lansing
MI for lunch, I went to the airport KPTK and hopped into the KR and off we go.
The wind at Pontiac was 160 at 11 and the runway was 090. No problem getting
off. Up up and away, heading to Mason Jewett KT

Hi can anyone tell me what the demonstrated crosswind componant is on the KR2?
Also what can I expect for stall warning and tendancy to stall spin?
Thanks Joel

With the small tail, it probably has a relatively small cross wind capability.
The tapered wing of the KR2 will stall at the tips, though the wash
