A Bonanza can be properly trimmed and is dynamically stable. A stock KR can do neither. I guess 1400 hrs in a KR wasn't enough training to hone my skills. Still not a qualified as a "real" KR pilot, but at least I'm a slow learner. :o) <- smiley face just in case someone misses my humor. -Jef

I have the ray allen servo for pitch trim and recently added a dynon servo for altitude hold. It works great. Chris Pryce Vacaville, CA -Please see LIST RULES and KRnet info at http://www.krnet.org/info.html -Change list delivery options at https://list.krnet.org/

760 odd hours in a stock kr (try gear) heavy engine. Needs minimum 70kg pilot to fly. First flight scared me with PIO. After that no other aircraft compares to the pleasure I get from my Kr2 ( except my mates 300 hp turbo glass air, it’s also very light on the side joystick. Just fly it and
