Hello Phil, I once had a conversation with an early KR pilot that personally knew Ken Rand. He said that he did a full power stall in his KR at 9000 feet. He said it took more than 8000 feet to recover. It was so bad he said he had already decided that he was going to die but tried one more time and was able to get it to come out of the spin. It is not the "KR" that is the problem but any close coupled high power to weight airplane. It is not going to stay straight when it stalls unless the ball is perfectly centered.
I have more than 17,000 hours and a lot of aerobatic experience and I would not stall the KR with full power. I am not saying not to do it because I don't know your qualifications but simply wanted you to know what to expect based on the experience of this guy. On another note as a KR guy if you are ever in the southern part of Alabama look me up and we can go do some flying.

I have now purchased a small hat mount or glasses mount camera. I will look at that soon.
