fatal accident...(28/October/2021)- South Africa :A private Rand Robinson
KR-2, registration ZS-UKU, impacted the terrain under unknown circumstances in
Tshwane, South Africa. The sole pilot(Neville Ferreira) onboard was fatally
injured.Preliminary information says the aircraft suffered an inflight failure
of one of the wings,
Guys its been a tough week and I know we all worried that we are next, but I do
believe this issue needs to come to an end!
Yes UKU had a good run built by some of the best(Sakkie Halgreen) flown by
the lucky and unfortunately gave up at her age.
Neville Ferreira was an amazing pilot and a great asset to the experimental
community.If there was one guy that could get the most out of a plane this was
him!
We all have our 5c worth of info,ideas and theory.
The time has come to stop the negative.
Get into your KR flying or not and to be thankful for living the live.

Stef,
It takes some rather aggressive flying to pull 3 G's. What types of
maneuvers are you doing? The only way to know what your bird will
handle is to test it but you certainly don't want to test it to
destruction. You know you're safe to 3 G's at 1150 so if you stay below
that in the future you know you're safe. To test for higher G's you'd
want to wear a chute but what's your chance of getting out of the plane
in case of failure? If you have a forward tip canopy chances are slim.
If you built you KR to plans you're probably safe enough. I think they
will find things in the SA crash that are out of the envelope.
