KR> Pitch sensitivity

2008-10-12 Thread Charles Burgoon
Isn't stick height a factor as well? I have a very tall non-tilting stick, with a chain drive pivoting handle. It would seem to be less pichy feeling. A lot more stick movement is required for the same control surface deflection in my case. Better? I do not know. Different? Yes. Also it al

I have a tri-cycle KR-2 with around 250 hrs TT. It has a Rev Master 2100. I bought it several months ago, but have not flown it yet due to the lack of time to work it. The seat configuration would not work for me. Flat bottom, no head room. Needs seats and interior, but I have the seat that

I have this same ugly air scoop on mine. I have a TG, and have not flown it yet. How does it cool? I would like a better looking cowl eventually. BTW, How do you deal with the distributer sticking up? I have seen photos of a lower profile configuration. Chuck > From: k...@bigpond.com> T

KR> RE: KR2 Reversing Throttle

2008-10-12 Thread Charles Burgoon
Hi Phil: Yours is a reversing throttle. A non-reversing is a simple push handle or when the attachment is above the pivot point rather than below. I am switching my Revmaster from non-reversing to reversing for shorter/straighter/simpler cable routing, more leverage, and smoother operation.

Is anybody flying a KR2 open cockpit with a partial canopy? If I seal the back off with an extended backrest will it work, and fly right? I would want it to have have interchangeable canopy depending on our miserable Houston summer weather. Chuck

Thanks for the info on gear and open cockpit. I am doing the mains now before I take it out the first time. The nose gear is complete. Now I need to fill those big holes on the wing bottom (later). I think I may fly it open cockpit first, and hope I don't encounter adverse flight characteris

Hi group, I am new to the list. I just purchased a KR2 with retracts. I have read about the gear collapses, but I am not clear if they are mostly nose gear, mains, or both. Which is it? I have already switched my nose gear to fixed. I am not sure if I will modify the mains until I start
