KR> Flap and belly board combination.

Mark, Your right I really should, but as I said I wimped out as I don't want to end up spinning. Spin training isn't part of UK PPL sylabus, so I am rather nervous about getting into a situation I can't handle. I still contend that it would be better for our friend to build light with

KR> Flap and belly board combination.

Hi, I am no expert, but as far as I can figure, a belly board will increase drag but will not increase lift, so will not allow a lower landing speed. The belly board drag will allow a steaper approach, it will also help you bleed off speed during the roll out. Whether the kr2 flaps have any

Some years ago I flew out to Kuala Lumpur. I was given a small complimentary pen knife by the airline. It always sits in the pocket of my work bag. Back in Aug I flew on hols UK to Spain. I slung my camera and some other junk in the work bag and forgot about the wee knife. I suddenly

Hi, I am in the middle of replacing my canopy. I have searched the archive, and find no info on how to bond a bubble to the frame. I have inherited what I think is an original kr2 canopy, and a GRP frame. the GRP frame has a flange that will sit inside the bubble, ie the screen will be

Hi Joe, Almost certainly it was carb icing, the evapouration of gas in the carb cools the throttle body dramatically, - even on a warm day. In UK it is probably number cause of in flight engine stops, and the circumstances of your stop are exactly consistent. I have had it happen to me twice,

KR> prop indexing - dunno what that is !

Hi, I guess that indexing a prop is a US term, cos I have not heard it in UK, so I am guessing what is meant. I think in many cases it is a practical choice rather than an engineering decision. Assuming that the prop is well balanced, the orientation should not make any difference what way

Hi, In the early 90's just about every car manufacturer in Europe offered a petrol turbo, it was an easy way to bring a performance model to a dull model range - it was also "sexy". Today in spite of the many advances made in engine design over the last 10 years, turbos have pretty much

Hi, I am just in the process of buying a KR2, and one of the big attractions is being able to easily remove the wings. My current a/c is stored 45 mins from home, and needs 30 mins to extract from the hangar, so being able to fly from a strip 10 miutes from the house is very attractive, plus
