Hey everyone,
I recently saw someone wit a KMP T-Craft. The plane looked terrific. Unfortunately, the person had not yet flown the plane and I have since lost contact with him.

Has anyone flown this aircraft? How do they fly?

Thanks,
Dave Walker

Hi Dave,

She needs to be flown on a calm day! Wind just takes it all over the place. But on a calm day it's a relaxing plane to fly around at 1/4 throttle. Any change in airspeed requires trimming. Even loosing a little altitude during a turn will make it ballon when you straighten it out until it bleeds off the extra speed it gained.

Hope this helps

Hi-
We have flown this T-Craft (KMP in USA/Canada) since last summer. We use a 61FS with a Dubro softmount, APC 12x6 prop and JR standard ballbearing servos. It flies like a dream, with plenty power for all kinds of aerobatics. It can almost be compared with big sister Taylorcraft 1:4 from Hangar 9, which we also fly. These two flown together at meetings have really made people watch! But since the small one has a flat bottom wing profile it is more sensitive to throttle in the air, and it is also quite sensitive for sharp turns at speed when you apply too much rudder together with ailerons (the rudder is big!). An inward snap can happen..
I don't agree that the little T-craft is over-sensitive to wind, no problem! The model is only a bit sensitive during take-off if you apply too much throttle too fast - basically with the 61FS it will lift off at half speed..

Hello-
Just a note to say that the KMP T-craft is great on skis! Come summer, we'll likely equip it with floats as it should do equally well.

Hi Everyone:

Just another note to say that the plane also flies great with an OS .46FX . It's very gentle to handle and looks great sitting next to all those Piper Cubs out there

You can go to www.kmp.ca to get some more info on the unit.

Cheers,
Andrew
