They most likely knew it all along. Some of the aircraft's components are either not fit for flight, or they haven't been tested enough. They'll get there eventually.I don't remember which interview but it was said that they found out KAAN's current landing gear was not fit for landing, so guess they are fixing that
They have most likely installed that landing gear to test other aspects of the plane like taxying and they were not meant for landing.I don't remember which interview but it was said that they found out KAAN's current landing gear was not fit for landing, so guess they are fixing that
Has this largeness an effective on RCS?
Yes and no. The larger an object the larger the RCS but the special shape and paint is reducing the RCS, it's about not to reflect back the backscatter to the enemy radar but let the backscatter signal deflect to other directions so that it is not shown on the radar.Has this largeness an effective on RCS?

Take the US B-2 bomber, much larger but still stealth
Theoretically it should be a slightly smaller. RCS value is also strongly dependent on the distance cos deflection angle vs distance plays her partImagine a smaller plane with all same characteristics and paint, has it the same RCS or a smaller RCS?
B-2 is more stealthy than a fighter jet against certain radar frequencies in the VHF/UHF part of the spectrum.Take the US B-2 bomber, much larger but still stealth
Not exactly. This is true when the object has a lot of radiative/reflective features, because they accumulate. But if it doesn't, increasing the size doesn't necessarily increase the RCS, it decreases the radar frequency with which it can be detected. This is why the largest stealth plane (B2) is also the stealthiest.The larger an object the larger the RCS
It's really not irrelevant, if it wasn't we could have made much simpler airframe like hurjet and call it a dayRCS is irrelevant imo, what's important at this point is this bird flying and start to test launch all the missiles developed to be used from fighter jets by Turkish defense industry.
RCS isn't going to change no matter how much you discus it whether it's as good as F-16, F35 or F22, doesn't matter. And I believe that 99% of the people here would prefer KAAN was flying now, and testing missiles against targets if it meant the airframe was like Hürjets.It's really not irrelevant, if it wasn't we could have made much simpler airframe like hurjet and call it a day
You are late. I even sharedAzerbaijan will sign a partnership deal to join Kaan project.
