KR2 first flight

This was the first proper flight of the wooden aeroplane I built in my living room. For the geeks among you, it is powered by a Jabiru 2200 engine and weighs just 220Kg empty. It was test flown in oxfordshire, England, which explains the bumpy soup we call weather! All credit to the test pilot who did a superb job.

Cheers, the asi is digital, which saves on space and weight. There is a small backup one on the left of the panel just in case of elec probs. Those MGL instruments are great and i'd definately recommend them.

What is the throttle missing at 2:30?

4:06- 4:15 is that room available for baggage? what is the likelihood of throwing plane out of balance by putting too much baggage?

[vickfalcon]

how much weight could one of these potentially carry?

Congratulations for your 1st flight! Thanks for sharing. Somewhat bumpy. Tell us about your KR2 airplane, dimensions, engine, etc. Where is your airspeed indicator? Best wishes! Zagi2007 from Brazil.
