Another thing to keep in mind in relation to meeting the LSA performance criteria is who, besides you, is going to know for sure what the stall speed (or any other parameter) really is. If you say the stall speed is 51 mph, as long as that's plausible who's going to even give it a second thought?

thanks, I agree with mark not to misuse our precious time! my question is related to that I simply may want my bird (KR1) to be light sport compliant. 51mph does it, 55 doesnt. but I plan mine to be simple and light, so I guess it should be fine. > > There are plenty of KRs flying. The stall spe

Hi I posted this a while back, Can i assume that no one has used the formula to determine stall speed? Not sure how to with the RAF48, no idea what the Coefficiant of Lift is, although the "new" airfoil probably has it someplace, or what to input with the density of air number. Anyone care to take

I went you these links and understand a bit better but I dont have the Clmax curve for the RAF48 or the "new" wing (at least the latter must be around someplace). BTW I have never heard of this being discussed to consider an aircraft for LSA compliant, has anyone else? Anyway not sure what to use f

Sorry, we are looking at a KR2 that is partially built. Has fuselage, tail and stabilizer built, no start on the wings yet. On Sat, Nov 19, 2016 at 11:06 AM, Mark Langford via KRnet < krnet at list.krnet.org> wrote: > John Lange wrote: > > > Is there a way to increase the useful load by 50 pound
