Don't worry about what some other guy did build your aircraft slow and carfull. When you reach the point where things are not going well, quite for a few days. When you finish one part and you are not satisified with the end result, do it over. A KR-2 or 2S built right is one of the strongest aircraft ever designed so you do not need a balistic parachute, all you need to concern yourself with is proper construction using the best materiels you can get your hands on.

Sat in front of one of the 2 seat Russian Aerobatic planes and watched the pilot preflight. His plane was beautiful and his prop was probably worth more than my whole project. He was probably ten times the pilot I will ever be. Watched him the whole time through binocs- He got into an accelerated stall and bellied in to the dirt with a fire ball. Pretty sobering thing to watch. Pretty sobering to compare his beautiful plane with my boat with its mistakes and some not perfect woodwork. Will still continue the KRbut I am going to buy the best airplane engine I can get install a ballistic chute and get rid of every piece of excess weight that can. It is pretty sobering to watch one go in right in front of you. _______________________________________ to UNsubscribe from KRnet, send a message to [email protected] please see other KRnet info at http://www.krnet.org/info.html .
