All of you guys talking about the KR with a training wheel (noeswheel) are going to make me have an inferior complex when I pull up in mine at the 2004 Gathering. Therefore, I have decided to make mine a convertible. I think I will install a fake tail wheel (like an inline skate wheel) on the back with a swivel. Then, on the nose strut, I a can install some of those push clips so that upon landing, I can jump out at the end of the run way, remove the nose wheel, transfer a sand bag from the seat to the back of the plane to hold the tail down and come taxing up on the ramp as a taildragger. Then maybe, just maybe I will be accepted. :-) What...it's not Friday....I just could not resist............
