Hi Rich Thank you for your reply to my email. Do you stil have your KR2, is it built as pe plan or have you made you own mods, that you feel have improved on the orginal desighn. On one point i notice a number of owners have "Strectched" their KR2s closer to the S dimentions. It does seem to be a very short coupled airplane. Having said this with so many different builders i would imagine there are heavy versions, light versions, different levels of attention / and understanding of CG requiments etc.Wht are your thoughts regarding pitch sensitivity.Colin and his partener flew there KR2 all the way from the UK weighing 900lb TOW ! I would have thought the plane must have flown reasonably effortlessly to fly this long distance.
