I have a kr2, 2180 turbo, I have never flown it. It needs work. It is on stock gear.
I have built and flown many shapes and sizes RC models over the decades, I can sort of just tell by looking at the airframe, weight, and balance how it will likely handle in flight. So every time I get the urge to work on my KR2 I get the feeling I won't much like flying it. It's just too short in length, seems to me it will be touchy and never will be nice and stable, easy to fly, decent airplane for cross country. That depresses me and removes my motivation. Elevator response reports of which there are many reinforce the negative thoughts. Also dismal spin test reports (video). For a long time I owned a Cessna 172. I really liked flying it, super nice to fly. Really properly proportioned. I wonder if the kr2S would generally be more like the cessna to fly as compared to the kr2. The longer moment with the longer fuse looks better. Might be able to recover from a spin. Is more stable? I would like to buy a KR2S I think. When I go to work on it I would not be discouraged by the short fuse. Any for sale near Seattle? thanks jg _______________________________________________ Search the KRnet Archives at https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/.
