Yea, mine would fly in smooth air for quite a while hands off, but it would
fly hands off for a really long time after I turned on the auto pilot.  And,
if you want to reduce weight, leave that tail wheel where it belongs.  YUK

Good question Sid. And while Mark's notes are spot on and well thought out I 
think the ideas that are missing are the things you shouldn't do if you are set 
on building light and in range. One of the most glaring to me is the obsesion 
that a number of folks have with increasing the horizontal stab. along with 
that the additional mass balancing of the elevator. I flew 2 days ago for over 
an hour and the plane trimed and flew hands off for plenty long to fold maps, 
take pictures (that is what I was doing) or what ever other task is at hand. it 
really does not need to be larger than stock in my opinion for normal flying. 
keep it light back there and another thing back there is that silly tail 
wheel... move it up front where it belongs.

to do the weight and balance, and an example on page 115.  That defines 
where the correct range is, although it's an accepted fact in the KR 
community that the last 2" of the 8" range should be avoided (to put it

is required to put the plane in the safe range, whether pilot and fuel

configurations are at the extremes of forward and aft CG).

Moving the engine forward is the most obvious way to get the CG forward,

configurations are at the extremes of forward and aft CG).

Moving the engine forward is the most obvious way to get the CG forward, 
and spacers under the mount, or making a new mount to accomplish the 
task, is the "easy" way to make large changes.  To get the CG more aft 
(as I needed in my case), moving the battery from the firewall to 
somewhere like adjacent to the main spar is helpful, and it can even be 
put further aft of the aft spar a few bays (which is where I put my 
backup battery).  In general, I see the engine as the rough balance, and 
when everything else is done, the weight and balance shows where the 
battery, ELT, backup battery, and other stuff needs to go.  N891JF has 
2" spacers between the engine mount and firewall, which was the "common 
knowledge" solution for the aft CG problem for the KR2.

Really, the smart way to do it is build all of the airplane except the 
firewall forward, do a weight and balance, weigh the engine and mount, 
calculate where the CG of the engine needs to go, then redo the W to 
show where the mount/engine should go...shimming if necessary.  We have 
control over this, and we know to avoid the aft end of the CG range, so 
arranging for a  forward CG is the prudent way to go.  That's what I did 
on N56ML as well.  All of this stuff is detailed in the KR Newsletters, 
available at http://www.krnet.org/newsletter/.

Keep it within the design gross weight and / or fiddle with the engine 
placement.  Hard to do the first, much easier to do the second.  That is what I 
did, per recommendation from Jim Faughn, when I had the VW on the Black Bird.

I put another couple of hours on N891JF (a fairly stock KR2) late this 
afternoon, and I was thinking that there is nothing special about flying 
this plane.  Yes, it will run circles around a 172, and it takes more 
runway, but it's just not difficult at all. It's justdifferent! 
What gets people is when they try to fly it with a CG toward the aft end 
or aft of the safe range, and then it's not just a handful, it's trying 
to kill you. 

The solution is pretty dang simple...build it with the CG near the FRONT 
of the range, because as passengers and baggage are added, the CG is 
going to move aft.  Jim Faughn built N891JF to be right on the front end 
of the CG range with him and full fuel, and I'm even lighter.  There's 
no hint of instability, obviously, and it's really not twitchy in smooth 
air (which is where I climb to for any cross-country).  It will gain or 
lose a couple of hundred feet in a minute if you're not paying 
attention, so you need to pay attention! 

One common characteristic with KRs is a lack of longitudinal (roll) 
stability.  They will typically drift off left or right and just keep on 
increasing the bank into a dive...so don't fall asleep at the stick. 
Other than these details, they are very similar to "normal" airplanes, 
but the V numbers are different, of course. 

And has been said many times, stick movement is pretty much limited to 
just "thinking" about it, while at cruise speed...slight pressure 
exerted on the stick, with no discernible movement.  About the only time 
real stick movement happens is on takeoff or landing, unless you like to 
do the occasional roll. 

Stalls are very gentle, and give PLENTY of warning.  N891JF rattles the 
elevator hinges long before you get to the stall, and it doesn't break, 
it just mushes down a little.  You'd have to be oblivious for it to 
sneak up on you and lose more than 20' of altitude.  I did several 
today, most a little less than 50 mph TAS with the belly board down. 
Turns do not significantly alter the stall characteristics, just 
increase the speed a bit. And it slips beautifully...just stomp the 
rudder pedal and correct flight path with ailerons, and it's a real hoot 
of an elevator ride. 

But a KR can lull you to sleep in calm air and practically flies itself 
with minimal input.  But even in calm air you can't spend a lot of time 
to fold a map with no hands on the stick, because moving arms and legs 
changes the weight distribution, and the plane will react accordingly. 
But that shouldn't be a surprise.  With a dual stick setup, I fly with 
my knees when doing such things as taking sunset photos.  With one stick 
that's a lot more difficult, bordering on yoga. 

As Troy Petteway once told me, "taildragger KR's are the easiest of the 
taildraggers to land", and I see no reason to argue with that.  It's not 
like flying an F-16, but it is a different mindset than a C-150.  My EAA 
flight advisor had me fly a Cub (for the first time) the morning of my 
first KR flight, but my time would have been better spent flying the KR 
earlier in the day in the calm air of the early morning. 

I guess my best advice would be to get a little (even ten minutes would 
help) stick time in a KR before flying yours for the first time, and 
keep in mind to make very subtle stick movements.  And go to altitude to 
ascertain stall speed, then approach a long runway at maybe ten percent 
higher than that and just wait for the speed to bleed off and let the 
plane gently settle onto the ground. 

If this plane were so difficult to fly, I wouldn't climb into it at 
every opportunity and just fly around the neighborhood for two hours 
like I did today.  Eight takeoffs and landings, some stall and cruise 
speed testing, a great sunset unfolding, and more dinosaurs liberated.

Start as soon as you can.  Try to take your lessons in a tail wheel plane
and put a tail wheel on your KR.



The extra with is really the only real change that the KR needs to be a
comfortable aircraft, unless you always want to be the only one flying on
long trips.

If you split your time evenly, you will finish your flight training long
before you will be able to finish your KR. Your time and financial resources
are engines pulling your train. As an A, you have the basic understanding
of need for safety and integrity. Although there are some great and creative
ideas online, but take your time in considering mods you read about online,
not all ideas pay out and you will be the one in the cockpit. If in doubt,
follow the plans.  Good luck and most of all, have fun with both goals.

Was half way through construction (1981-4) when I started my flight training 
(Piper Warrior II, ex-Navy WW-II Carrier Corsair pilot/instructor).  Had 9.2 
hours on my ticket when I made the first flight in my KR2, had a lot of RC 
flying so I understood the basics. Go for it.

Go for it, the KR is a great choice...but, the KR is not for a novice pilot.
 You need to get the licence and progress to more advanced aircraft before
flying the KR.  I am sure others will chime in on this so I will just say
welcome and enjoy building the plane.  I'll actually be sad when mine is done.
 I love the building part.

KR> Pilots and Builders

 I'm building a KR2S widened. 43 @ longeron shouldres. 
I'm a builder, not a pilot as of yet. I told a friend I wanted to build a 
plane. Tim Stringer suggested the KR. So I researched all the quality and 
quirks. I fell in love. I know I will get my license. But Do you think I'm 
putting the kart in front of the horse?  
 I would enjoy your HO's
