Today, I flew exactly one hour on my KR. Again the flight was more than 
perfect. Outside temp was 44° and no winds with a ceiling of 12,000'. Again, 
I had full tanks (10 gallons in each wing). After completion of the flight, 
I measured the fuel burn at 5.5 gallons per hour. My maximum altitude during 
this flight was 5,000' with a lot of cruising at 4,000'. I did a lot of 
steep turns both left and right and she would hold altitude with no efforts. 
Again, I flew hands off in straight and level flight with no variations from 
where I let go of the stick. I was hands off for almost 10 seconds!!!. On 
initial climb at take off I held the airspeed at 100 mph, rpm was 2500, oil 
temp was 190°, oil psi was 40, exhaust temp was 1200° and CHT was 280°. I 
did three high speed passes down the runway at approximately 100'. During 
the dive to the airport, I obtained a speed of 175 mph, level over the 
runway 160 mph and when I pulled out she climbed like a homesick angel. At 
4,000' and cruise at WOT, I achieved 150 mph at 2750 rpm, oil temp 190°, oil 
psi 40, exhaust temp 1100, and cht temp 260°. I am very pleased at how this 
KR handles with no surprises so far and also with the engine running as 
smooth as I could expect being it was the first engine I have ever 
completely built. The only thing is that I firmly believe I have too much 
prop and that I should be able to get better top end performance with maybe 
a 52 x 50. I have one that I will be testing soon but for now, I just want 
to enjoy flying for a while. I took off this Monday and will be putting 
several hours on the plane. More reports coming soon

KR> Second Flight Report

[Mark Langford]

Mark Jones sent me a video of him flying his plane last weekend for the
first time, taken by Joe Weber.  I was fairly amazed to see snow everywhere
(he wasn't kidding about that) and Mark blasting down the runway taking off
anyway.  I cracked up when Mark, as soon as he got about 50 feet off the
ground, lets out this big YEHAAA!! over the radio, as
heard by Joe's handheld radio.   Inspirational, indeed...
