KR> Caution on stalls

KR fliers and soon to be fliers, I hope the discussion on stalls has been a fruitful one. Please no one out there think I am saying the plane should not be flown to approach to stall or full stall. My point is to present a word of caution on flying full power stalls. It does not take a great

KR> Stalls

I thought approach and departure stalls are part of the PTS that every pilot should be able to perform for their PPL and are typically asked to demonstrate during their BFRs. Now, that doesn't mean it should be performed in every aircraft, as I'll discuss below. The point that I apparently

KR> Stalls

Been re-reading 'Stick and Rudder' (Langewiesche) from the '40's and his point and focus is "Angle of Attack" big time. Maybe 'stalls' are avoidable, but should be practiced. I found the book to be helpful as an 'attitude adjustment"; Artful flying is okay too. Mark W N952MW (res) -Original

KR> Stalls

One thing that I learned during my flight training was NEVER pick up a wing in the approach to a stall with the aileron. It INCEREASES THE ANGLE OF Attack on the low wing and precipitates the stall on that wing and it stalls first, Virg On 12/3/2010 11:55 AM, Jeff Scott

"I have not heard of anyone doing this, but has anyone put a ventral fin on a KR?" I have indeed added a ventral fin to the aft end of my fuselage. I did this for two reasons, to provide an aerodynamic fairing for my tail tie down eyelet and to provide a fairing for my "bumper wheel". I have a

KR-netters, There have been two excellent posts recently concerning full power stalls in the KR. Mark Langford's personal experience of flipping upside down after a hard roll out of a full power stall is not unique to the KR, but the math behind the snap roll says the high-powered short KR

Before we start beating drum about the KR being a dangerous craft to stall, you need to look a little farther. I practice both power off and power on stalls in my KR. It's more docile and controllable in a power on stall than my Tomahawk was (the Tommy always wanted to roll over and spin). I

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
