KR2 "Shrek" did 10 hours now.........

[Willie]

I am proud to announce that I have logged 10 hours on Shrek now and that flying the fast little KR2 is very exiting. I am going to increase the weight in the passenger seat until I feel comfortable to take a real person. At the moment the P-Prop is giving me the fast cruise that I am looking for but the climb out with no passenger and full tank is only between 600 and 700 ft pet min. at 1400 ft above sea level. The C of G calculations will allow me more than the registered all-up weight allows. I find no problems with cross wind landings and the wheelers are also easy due to the flat approach. Although everything happens at double the speed in the KR I find it easier to fly than my friends Busbaby. I made two flights to other airfields, it was eventless and a lot of fun.

So a word of comfort to all of you that are thinking of converting to a KR2 it is really not as difficult to fly as everybody said.

Thanks to Bennie and others for your contribution.
