KR> final weight and balance

2008-10-12 Thread Jeff Scott
You guys are really making me feel good about my KR. When I first finished it, my 721# KR was refered to as fat, bloated, overweight and a few other less than kind adjectives despite being a much larger plane than the KRs of that day. Turns out to be right in the same weight class as the two

One of the many reasons that I stick with the KR is because it is designed to be powered by auto engines. There is no way that I could ever afford to buy an aircraft engine, let alone, maintain one. Get ready to get flamed, cause I can smell it coming. See you in Mt. Vernon - 2005 - KR
