Re: KR> In-flight Fire
I never liked header tank in the KR and planned to leave it out. I also vote to get the fuel way out in the wings.

Re: KR> Pitch sensitivity
> Could you go into further detail about "how" it flew better with a forward > CG than an aft CG? Sure, the plane under normal conditions (no baggage) would require significant up trim to unload the stick, and when pulling power, would drop the nose unless you held onto the stick. "Lawn dart"is a description used more than once. Conversely, with plenty of stuff in the baggage compartment (at or near aft CG limit), the plane seemed to "float" in balance and handled much better and was faster to boot. A pure dream to fly. This was discussed often. It was considered by some to be good practice to ignore the front half of the CG envelope. It is possible that the CG envelope was shifted a bit forward than it should have been and in fact I spoke with someone in good authority that the aft limit was quite conservative and flying AT the published aft limit would in fact produce good results, and it did. > See http://www.n56ml.com/wb/index.html for more on the KR aft CG, which I'm > pretty sure is common to most aircraft. This story should scare you...it > certainly scared me! I actually had read that last year, another well written piece and in fact I am sure I saved it to PDF as well in my KR own knowlege base. ___ Search the KRnet Archives at http://tugantek.com/archmailv2-kr/search.

Re: KR> Pitch sensitivity
with all this talk about pitch sensitivity, one common mention is using forward CG. What is up with that? My last plane really liked aft CG (within the envelope obviously) and flew MUCH better there. What happens to a KR at aft CG? ___ Search the KRnet Archives at http://tugantek.com/archmailv2-kr/search.

Re: KR> KR 1 project
ok no retracts, duh, shoulda gone back and looked. ideally I'd like to build a tri-retract, original size KR1, with engine back against the firewall as original, and with a normalizing turbocharger. the main retracts are easy. the nose can swing back halfway into a center pocket (I think). as to a small normalizing turbocharger, tight squeeze and heat issues. which is why it would most likely be added later, in a phase two. point being, I am happy to see some added complexity is possible with enough thought and skill! ___ Search the KRnet Archives at http://tugantek.com/archmailv2-kr/search.

Re: KR> KR 1 project
very cool! question, I think you said it had retracts, if so where does the nosegear retract to? ___ Search the KRnet Archives at http://tugantek.com/archmailv2-kr/search.
