Good video, my compliments to the videographer. Generally a very good flight given the circumstances.
Congratulations to the brave pilot. Daniel R.

(second attempt) A few months ago Mike See had asked about Sam Bailey's KR-1. I responded that it was purchased by a guy out of Torrance who pickled it and kept it neetly tucked in his hangar. The owner moved out of state and the plane got sold to a fellow at San Gabriel Valley (El Monte CA) Airport who had zero experience with experimentals but had the vision and drive to become an experimental builder and pilot. After what seems like millions of questions, relentless requests for guidance, 3 months of hard work and the associated trials and tribulations he made the little bird airworthy again. He did his best to get flight experience but KR pilots with flyable two seat aircraft are few and far between out here in the Los Angeles area. In short he flew N31SB today. It was a super sketchy take off but given the high level of vestibular input and the fact that he did not know what to expect he was able to get it off the ground and did several passes to get the courage up to land. To his credit and absent available training and the virulent practice of emergency drills he was able to take off and land "safetly." His primary impression is that the plane is twitchy, pitch sensitive and very powerful... much more than the certified planes he's used to flying. I think I got the link correct now.
