My first flight in N5834 was my first flight in any KR-2 and in fact the first time I had seen a KR-2 fly. It was another 3 months before I saw a KR in flight from the ground (at MVN 2004). I studied Jim Faughn's "The Perfect Landing" at http://home.hiwaay.net/~langford/faq/chapter11/faughn/perfect_landing.html and Adrian Carter's "First Flight" http://home.hiwaay.net/~langford/faq/chapter11/carter/first_flight.html as well as anything else I could find prior to flying. I largely credit these two articles (along with some pretty hairy high speed taxi's and crow hops) with making my first flight successful. My thanks to Jim and Adrian and many others for the information provided here.

If someone on KRnet sent me an email direct, please send it again with KR in the subject line so I know where it's coming from. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Colin Rainey" > On the same lines of archives, many KR builders have asked about how a KR > flies.
