Richard's Comments:
...This is my second plane after a 25 year hiatus. Mostly all sailplanes prior. My re-entry plane was an LT 40.
The FK requires just a bit more attention in the air but it is actually rolls
much better than the LT 40...
...Flaps are a hoot! Take off run with half flaps is ten feet or less -
and that is in pretty thick grass. I think with the flaps and a little headwind it could be landed at nearly zero groundspeed.
...Saito .91 is more than ample power... This airplane just gets to be more fun each time I fly it...
...The kit was wonderful, although this plane takes a little building.
I just finished one of your Ventures and it was every bit as nice - just many fewer pieces.
My aero-engineer son-in-law is very impressed with the Flyin'King - the materials and design...
...I might have to build another one of these just for grins.
