KR> KR-2 spin /crash in Idaho
That was a friend of mine. He told me that he had to grab the bottom of the instrument panel and pull himself forward.

C of g is very important in a short coupled KR. Over here the CAA stipulated C of G no further back than the rear face of the main spar. That was for the original short KR2 - and a long time ago. Probably all changed now.

KR> KR-2 spin /crash in Idaho
List-Post: krnet@list.krnet.org Date: Sunday, Dec.7, 2014 Contrary to some pilots out there, I would like to see the video in question. Many things can be learned from the actions of others, especially when the actions involve life or death in aircraft. I send my condolences to the family and friends of the pilot and feel that since he had a camera taking pictures of the flight, many of us could learn about the spin characteristics of the KR-2. I feel that this particular pilot wanted to learn and possibly pass on his flight experiences to others and that is why he went to the trouble of installing the camera. What a shame if we pilots don?t take advantage of his experience. I own N54PB which is a conventional, built to plans KR-2 with a 1830cc VW with turbo charger and retractable landing gear. I have never spun my bird but had done rolls and stalls in it. I have some training in spins in a Citabria over Apple Valley California back in the early 70s. I also have about 4000 hours of jet simulator training in F-4s, DC-8, Dc-10, L-1011, B-727, and B757. Your thoughts may very. Thanks Parley Byington Byington1954 at embarqmail.com Henderson Nevada
