Love the video Craig and happy all is going well. A bit of advice on landing.
N886MJ likes speed in the pattern. Follow these and you will love the way she
lands.
Maintain 110-120 on downwind.
Turn base and slow to 100 mph.
Now drop speed brake half way.
Turn final and slowly reduce to 80 mph by
Craig; don't mind me... I'm just watching the videos and having fun, and it's
easy for us in the peanut gallery to toss peanut shells ;o) However, is it
just me, or maybe the angle of the camera, or do you have a heavy foot on one
side? Almost everywhere and in all flight regimes in the 15 min

Does the new airfoil increase stall speed and, if so, by how much? (just
curious)

I am flying the 5048/15 new wing and if memory serves, it's supposed to be
about 10 mph faster than the original design.

Craig;
I noticed the same thing, I am wondering if most KR-s have this problem, I know
mine did. I just finished modifying mine hopefully to solve the out of center
ball, by moving the vertical stabilizer leading edge spar slightly to the
starboard side. Before taking this modification on, I
I am still working with a project KR2S that was originally set up with
the spars for
the RAF 48 airfoil and would rather not add the weight of laminating extra
material to the spar top and bottoms to use the 5048 airfoil

The AS504x series of airfoils was designed to have the same stall speed,
yet due to the lower drag, is about 10mph faster than the RA
