Jeb
I will be test flying my KR soon. Thank you for posting this. I will now review
my test plan to ensure that I have a plan ready should my aircraft decide to
leave the bounds of earth unexpectantly. One of the first things on my list is
to secure as much recent experience as I possibly can. I am flying a lot and
making sure that I am current. Secondly, the engine. I have to be very sure
that this engine is ready for the job. I can't wait to get this great airplane
in the air.
Best regards
Luis R Claudio, KR2S N8981S Dallas, Texas

I'm writing this so others won't make the same mistakes I made today.
We had a rare East breeze today, I wanted to see if I could lift the nose,
Well, I did - it took off and I was surprised, I tried to get it back
down, but PIOs
and I hit hard and bounced - 3 times, the last time was hard, and it was
too much for
the nose strut (then the propeller)
Mistake one: not having a plan on what to do if it took to the air
Mistake two: lack of recent flying time dual and solo
Mistake three: posts on KRNet about just this sort of thing happening
on high speed tests
which I read and didn't take as seriously as I should have.
but hey, it actually flew.
