KR> X-Plane SIM of the KR
Dan, I think this is a great idea and hope KR builders/flyers contribute data. Having a pro experienced in the art and willing to wade through the data to identify refinements, plus someone willing to implement them sounds promising. I've got to admit - I'm all in favor of it just because there will be more data for me to digest when I get around to building and flying. (Yes, I'm new...just joined KRnet to listen to KR builders' experiences/ideas/opinions.) I've been looking at different homebuilt plans and the KR2S is very close to the top of the list. So far, the discussion topics have been enlightening.

I may be speaking out of turn or even about something that I know nothing about but if I'm not mistaken you would need those spec's for MSFS 2004 to build a true flying model. But in X-Plane you build the plane model and the sim tells you how it will fly. That's the big selling point of X-Plane, you can change the wing airfoil model or the size and shape of the body or tail and tell it what HP your engine is and it will demonstrate to you how it should fly. By the way, all the tools to do that come with X-Plane and the new scenery is a blast of reality.

KR>X-Plane SIM of the KR
The person who is going to build the X-Plane KR2 has more experience and knowledge on this subject than almost anyone, so if he says that is the kind of information he needs, that is the kind of information I want to give him. The more and more accurate information that we can send in, the better the plane will be. I have X-Plane V 7 and tried to build one with Ameet, and we were only partially successful. This one will be a good one if I can get the information. All of what you said is true, but you have to give it the performance specs or it does not know how to act. Do you have X-Plane 8.2x? I gave up somewhere in 7. something., with the plane as it just kept getting worse. I think the whole system is much better now, but won't know until the new version arrives. See N64KR at http://KRBuilder.org - Then click on the pics See you in Mt. Vernon - 2006 - KR Gathering There is a time for building and a time for FLYING and the time for building is OVER. Daniel R.

Hey, that's great, it will save me the trouble of trying to build it myself this winter. I've got those versions of the KR-2 for X-plane version 7x from Ameet but now I've got version 8.21 so it needed to be upgraded. In all the years that I've been involved with the KR's, I've seen few that have been built to the same overall spec's.
