RE: I have to ask why as I'm going to replace my retactable gear with fixed gear and was thinking of converting to a nose wheel. I will be operating from a 1000 yard grass strip which can be bumpy and have tall grass.
Why would I like to see more wheels on the tails of KRs? Well, I just like them better. I believe that each builder should build what they want, but there is a certain thing about a conventional KR that I really like. Well, I like all tail wheel airplanes and a lot that are not. Now for your situation, you really need a tail wheel. Bumpy and tall grass, good by nose wheel. Put some good 5X5 on a nice set of Clevelands and use the Grove gear to get it a little higher and your in business. Like Larry says, it is a little "orgasmic". Or maybe, just sexy.

I, for one, would like to see more wheels on the tails of KRs. See N64KR at http://KR-Builder.org - Then click on the pics Daniel R. Heath - Columbia, SC [email protected] See you in Mt.

If anyone other than me wants to see a definitive answer from an authority on this let me know and I will see if I can get a clarification from the FAA. _______________________________________ to UNSUBSCRIBE from KRnet, send a message to [email protected] please see other KRnet info at http://www.krnet.org/instructions.html _______________________________________ to UNSUBSCRIBE from KRnet, send a message to [email protected] please see other KRnet info at http://www.krnet.org/instructions.html .
