Ka6E vs. Ka6CR

I'm told that late CR's (like my former ship) have the same Wortman
win
as
the E as they were produced simultaneously.



I have been offered flights in K6-E's but always found the cockpit load
much lower on the E than on the CR. From memory under 200 for the
E and over 220for the CR.

Worth checking before you buy.

I flew several CR's and they are a delight.

Also, are there any comparable ships you might consider in lieu of a Ka6E?

Thanks!

I have about 100 hours in a K-6e and found it a delight to fly. Jeff, since I know you, I am sure you would easily fit into any version of the K-6. The e-model is nicer looking and slightly better performance. Be aware, all K-6 models require entire canopy removal to enter so in the normal TSA winds you will need to watch it when it is on the ground.

It is my understanding, from I'm not sure where, that the E, CR, and ASW15 were all in simultaneous production. I'm making the assumption that most of the performance improvement in the E would have been from the airfoil upgrade, not the tail so if my old ship has the Wortmann wing, I'd probably opt for it.

Has anybody seen the CR mod with the fairing from the vertical stab to top of fuselage???
