Does anyone have a KR-2 and have experience with TO/Landings at high altitude,
hot dry runways?
I live in Albuquerque, NM where the airfield is at 5800 ASL
I'm considering buying a KR-2 with a VW type 4 engine
I have not been able to find any information about density altitude take-off
and landing roll-out
I'm concerned about:
1. density altitude degrading engine performance
2. higher airspeed needed for the same lift off / sink rate
3. 140 degree pavement creating a low density ground effect envelope
(less molecules / volume due to local runway temp) and the potential for
causing hard landings
