KR2 safely and successfully! I will certainly keep it in my flight test
plan as key points of caution and lessons learned! However, I may not be

Thanks so much Jeff for the info! Actually, I was hoping maybe someday you
could help making the maiden flight for my KR2 when you fly back to the Los
Alamos area to see your old friends, perhaps?!
I remember you already sold your KR2 last year, right? So, if you can help

One item I never considered on the first three "first flights" that
tried to bite me on the first flight in the Cruzer was "stick neutral

I am in ABQ NM John, so the KAEG airport is what I hangared my kR2 here...
There is usually not too much traffic here, so it is a good thing! My goal
