Eric Gene Byrd had a Deihl nose gear on his KR prior to his crash. He was flying off a grass strip, not the smoothest in the world but also not too bad. Although he never had a failure his strut bent just above the nose wheel fork. He had a gusset welded in and continued to fly it until he got a new strut from Diehl. Gene told me that Dan Diehl said it would happen again if he continued to land on grass.
