Take off roll rotate at 60 mph, lift off is between 65-70 mph. Climb 90 mph for 1150 fpm climb. Enter downwind at 100-110 mph. Reduce power and turn base, 90 mph base leg. Turn final, drop speed brake 1/2 way down maintain 85 mph. 1/2 mile out, full deflected speed brake, speed bleeds to 80 mph. Over the numbers at 70 mph. Flare and hold off till touch down at 65. With the new airfoil, my KR will not float far in ground effect, rather she will set right down and stay there.
Note: I have made landings at speeds as high as 90 mph at touchdown but used about 3/4 of the runway to stop at high speed landing. Touching down at 65 mph my KR will stop in 1/3 or the runway length. I use a 3000' paved runway. Mark Jones (N886MJ) Wales, WI -----Original Message----- OK, I hate to be this way, but this one's for real KR pilots only. Please send me your speeds....rotation, climbout, pattern, approach, and approximate touchdown speeds, and anything else that a prospective KR test pilot might need. And it might not hurt to remind me what engine you have in it, and whether or not you have flaps or belly board. I might need these one of these days... Mark Langford, Huntsville, Alabama
