They used to also have camping at the YMCA.

Correct. I stayed there the entire week in 2010, great place, YES ice in the
hocky ring. You can camp on the indoor grass football field, NO TENT PEGS so
you need a free standing tent.

?My counter balanced eleavtor horn?has limited area for adding enough weigt to
static balance the elevator.I need approx 2.2 pounds on each side. Should I add
as much lead weight as possible and forget about it. or should I?not install
any?weights?in the elevator??

The design does not require any balance weights on the elevator, just the
ailerons.

?My KR1 weighed 479 pounds empty before the rebuild of the tail section so the

little more weight? there for sure. Weight and balance will tell all.

Come to think of it aerodynamically. Doesn't elevator horns themself act as

I would echo exactly what Rob said. I have flown my KR with the original plans
elevator and flight tested to 225 mph IAS. After 500 hours, I changed to the
newer tail with the 0009 airfoil and have flight tested it to 215 mph IAS.
Neither tail had counterweights and neither tail showed any pr

is better than no weight at all?

Jeff; small correction- 190 IAS is aerodynamically equal to 190 TAS @ standard

molecules, independent of density altitude, just like your flight surfaces

?Ok Jeff I'll close up my elevator horns with no weights added. I'm thinking?
as long as my elevator cables are tensioned properly,I should not worry about

I should add the caveat that I have no cables in my elevator controls.

Peter,
Sorry if this is a repeat message. My email keeps changing itself from text to
HTML, so my previous post on this subject would have come through blank for
some.

You are correct about the pitot system and stall speed.? However, flutter is
all about velocity of the air rather than pre
Jeff; I've read the article and am very concerned. I'm a CFI so what I teach
determines pilot's behavior in practice. I want to read more before answering,
but I have four observations: 1. The Mooney turbocharged models do not vary Vne
(IAS) with altitude. 2. sailplane manufacturers lower Vne wi
My KR-2 has a single 2.6 pound counter weight on a remote 18-inch arm mounted
in the fuselage for 100 percent balancing of the elevator.

Hi Neville,?
There is no so called ?kit. You buy the plan's. ?Which comes with the manual
and all the drawings. With that there's enough to scratch build you're plane.
Then there are many parts that you can buy that are pre made from NV Aero.?
