Hi Brian, and all.-- I heard that too -from a builder in Harare, Zimbabwe.Reckoned he climbed onto the combing to get out of a flat spin! I've lost his address but he's mine of information. He developed an undercarriage using m/cycle spring damped struts. Wonder if anyone knows his address. First name's Clive. And on the subject of spin,- what is the latest consensus on C of G range for a standard KR2?
