After putting another 1.5 hours on the KR yesterday, all I can say is "come on guys and gals, get that project finished and flying"!!!
The winds were light and/or right down the runway. I've logged time in a Cessna 150, 172, 172XP, 177, 182, Piper Cherokee 140, 180, the 180 with the tapered wing, Tripacer, Colt, Super Decathalon, and flown in Champs, Taylorcrafts, Mooneys, Bananzas, Cubs, ultralights, Ercoupes, Aztecs, and more, but I think my KR is as exciting to fly and capable of making the best landings of anything I've flown. With little or no wind it flares and settles on smoother than any airplane I've ever experienced !!! It flares beautifully, slows and settles on with the wheels just starting to roll on the asphalt. AWSOME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When you get your project flying you'll kick yourself for taking so long to build.......... I taxied the full length of the runway with the new extention at the local airport yesterday, about 1.2 miles from the terminal. It was the same direction as my intended route of flight. Nearing the end I called ground control. "Ground, 1LF, it's hard for me to see over the nose. Is this next exit the Benton exit" ? "1LF, Ground, negative, continue taxi".
