Oh don't get me wrong. I'm all for experiments and upgrades. The improvements Mark has done are based on sound aerodynamic principals and practices. All of us have looked at many KR's that the builder tried to improve so much that they were never completed or flown. In some cases this most likely saved the builders life... ;) I just think that if one wants to experiment with fly by wire, then do it on an aircraft that is very stable to begin with and can support the weight of all pilots and test equipment needed. I always felt that I would be able to break my KR-1 with elevator input by pulling to hard (and not that much pull at that). Was not worried about wing spar failure it was the horizontal tail itself that I thought would depart. I keep seeing a system failure that drives the airplane to the breaking point before the test pilot had time to react.
My thoughts for what it's worth. -----Original Message----- From: krnet-boun...@mylist.net [mailto:krnet-boun...@mylist.net] On Behalf Of David Goodman Sent: Wednesday, November 03, 2010 12:57 PM To: 'KRnet' Subject: RE: KR> Fly By Wire _______________________________________ Search the KRnet Archives at http://www.maddyhome.com/krsrch/index.jsp to UNsubscribe from KRnet, send a message to krnet-le...@mylist.net please see other KRnet info at http://www.krnet.org/info.html
