Re: KR> Pitch sensitivity

What Chris describes is not at all unusual. A number of aircraft fly better in an aft CG as the elevator gets too heavy with a forward CG. A C-182 is a good example. A 200 horse Muskateer is another. It flies better and is easier to land if your CG is a bit aft simply because the elevator

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

KR> Pitch sensitivity

This has been a major topic of discussion over the years. My first KR was pitch sensitive", however this KR is no more "pitch sensitive" than the RVs that I was able to fly, prior to my first flight in this KR. I really think it has A LOT to do with getting the WB forward enough to keep you off

it allows for more leg room, since the stick does not tilt, only the stick handle does. > Date: Sun, 10 Dec 2006 10:37:58 -0500> From: da...@alltel.net> To: > kr...@mylist.net> Subject: KR> Pitch sensitivity> > This has been a major > topic of discussion over the yea

KR> Pitch sensitivity

Jeff Scott just mentioned about increasing stability by making the horizontal stab longer but still having issues with the pitch sensitivity of the plane. I cannot say for other pilots, but I have flown more than 15 different models of aircraft and find that there are quite a few aircraft that

KR> pitch sensitivity

Franco Negri & netters It is very common for any aircraft to become more sensitive in all control axis when the CG moves rearward towards the aft limit. This is because the CG is approaching the Center of Pressure (or lift as some know it) and so instead of the plane acting like you are
