Jim Hill sold his plane to my long time friend and bro.Noel wanted that plane and sold his Harley Night train to do it. His cancer diagnosis only inspired his desire to fly his own plane. He had his private pilot ticket and approval to operate with a prosthetic left leg below the knee. Once the deal was made, Jim changed the brakes from toe to hand operation and the deal was made. With a normal check out of the aircraft and flight check with KR check pilot, Noel was able to fly his aircraft safely and enjoyed it until he was no longer able to fly due to his medical condition.The KR has trigear,installed during the mods and rebuild. The takeaway is this.Jim's changes to the aircraft where good in that it flys much better than the KR2[stock configuration] I flew for 27 years.Tommy W.
