Re: KR> Flight Training

The KR flies like anything else. I had people tell me all sorts of things when I first got mine flying and I had 10 hours tailwheel time had no problem at all. RV 4 will be just like a KR. Sent from my iPhone > On Jan 25, 2017, at 12:12 AM, Dan via KRnet wrote: > > Hi,

The reason nitrogen is used on planes is that heat does not effect pressure. We use it to pressure test hvac systems. I can charge it with 350 lbs at 10 o'clock and 80* outside an come back at 4 when it is 105* and it will have the same pressure. Aircraft use it because tires do not expand when
