In the hundreds of landings to date in my KR I've not found that to be a problem. I guess it's "whatever works for you is the way to go". I'll let Mark get in some ground handling time in my KR when he comes through here on the way to Oshkosh and he can compare apples to apples and give us his opinion. Larry Flesner
