Just a few more whacks at this horse to make absolutely sure it's a dead one. Sorry, but I was out flying all day. I'll probably be drummed out of " KRdum" for this one, but I suspect a 75% elevator would be just fine on something resembling a KR. On my horizontal/elevator webpage, I wrote "I

Is the KR2 really a lot more sensitive than a KR2S? I got a little stick time in Joe Horton's and can say that its slightly lighter then a Sonex and slightly heavier then a Sonerai I. It was vastly more manageable than the Allegro that I flew. I remember that the Sonex got a bad review in Kitplane

I am going for a certain look. In the process the elevator will be smaller. Approx 75% of what the plans call for. This should help I am told. -- Craig. Properly nothing I can say will change your mind, BUT the elevator was designed a certain size for a reason, by
