KR> Fuel Venting on Canopy

2009-05-24 Thread mitch hargin

KR> Taxi test on KR2

2008-10-12 Thread mitch hargin
I have reconditioned a KR2 and I am performing taxi tests on her. She has a VW 1835cc motor with a Sturba Prop. I had her up to 70mph indicated today. She tracked nicely down the runway. Would she have lifted off if I had pulled back on the stick? I have read many web sites on the KR and I
