Thanks guys. Cautionary tales for sure. I also read some of the archived spin narratives. The moral seems to be as always, if you intend to do spins make sure the CG is not aft.

He said that it would not recover until he grabbed the bottom of the instrument panel and pulled himself as far forward as he could go. That story makes me a bit leary of trying a spin in a KR. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: KR> Spins From: Larry&Sallie Flesner <[email protected]> List-Post: [email protected] Date: Thu, July 26, 2012 4:57 am To: Charles Babb <[email protected]>,KRnet <[email protected]> >Has the KR been spin tested at max fore and aft CG? ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The simple answer is probably no. A few builders claim to have spun their KR but many, probably most, have not. If you plan to spin test yours make sure you know what you are doing and take all precautions necessary.
