Just got to get in on this one.I agree with almost everything said.Been

P.S. With 500+ hours flight time in a KR, there is nothing "trivial"
about deployable drag for landing. Our strong opinions are based

On the first flight in my KR,
Doran,
I don't know about other aircraft, but I do know that the KR is one slick
little bird. It took me a while to accept the fact that it needed some drag
for landing. The reason is because when you are set up on final and have the
appropriate attitude to maintain the speed you want, you

to get into a short strip!

I made two "power at idle" landings yesterday. Does that count
for anything? :-) I
For all the KRs with laminar flow airfoil sections,this might be
interesting.During a World Gliding Competition,the American champion dumped
water ballast onto the German champion below,who was gaining on him in
climb.Naturally this dirty trick infuriated the German champ,and at the
