I am glad I did not have the Internet with all this information when I got my KR flying in 92. I’m not sure if I would have ever flown it. Instead I put 800 hours on it before I sold it and had a blast. Loaded aft CG with my wife 5 gallons of fuel and an overnight bag all behind the seat, stick would be underneath the panel take off and go. When we climbed out at our destination people would stop and stare at us getting out of the little KR. There are really only 2 rules to live by airspeed and fuel. If you watch those to everything else will take care of itself. I stated out with the KR and have moved thru high performance to twins and those to rules have keep me in the air. I lost 6 VW engines and 1 85 cont. and air speed brought the plane home in one piece. Also helped a divorce along.
