I recently completed a retract to tri gear conversion after a hard landing on N774A. Mine was upside down for several months. I know a local builder who has decided to do exactly what you are contemplating. Mains have been reversed. He does not have the nose gear yet.
Email off line at ankerst...@embarqmail.com or call my cell (513 313-9265) if you'd like to pursue our experience. Brad Ankerstar SW Ohio, N774A I know that some aircraft can be converted by simply 'flipping around' the main gear so that it angles backwards and is mounted to the back of the spar, and then adding a nose wheel - is this a workable concept with the KR (keep the stock mains but flip/reverse-mount, and add the Diehl nosewheel), or do I need to buy new mains as well?
