Fight hours - I had about 450 in many different kinds of airplanes. 80 hours taildragger Cessna 185 time. Flying my dad's KR2 -Revmaster 2180 turbo- was no problem - only noticed real sensitivity when at gross weight. This tendancy is much better in N41768 - the KR2S. I feel that flying

If you need to find someone to get some dual in type or similar contact the EAA. They have a listing of flight technical advisors that should be able to help you out. As far as getting similar training flying a rv and doing no flap approaches would help. It's my opinion and the opinion of

There are low-time spam-can pilots who have flown a KR without any previous time in a KR and I applaud them. I had the same experience that Steve Eberhardt did when I flew with Marty Roberts - I made an extreme effort to hold my hand very still and the plane either went nose UP or nose DOWN.

That is great advise, but where do you get a short coupled, high performance two place with dual control, that someone will let you get time in? I am not advocating this, but I had 155 hours of almost nothing but C-150 time along with a 5 hour course in a Citabria where I never got to take off or
