Hi Mark Langford. When I built my Kr, I was chided for building a
"Nosedragger ", and many other comments from folks about my piloting
skills. I built it from the beginning to have positive steering and to
be retractable. Guess I had read enough stories to convince me that I
did not want to build it as a taildragger, and I didn't like the idea
of using the brakes for directional control, especially when you are
taking off. It has been a lot of extra work to do so, But I wouldn't
trade it for a taildragger.

Although I only have three landings with it so far, I can tell you
that
I have a whole new appreciation for nose wheels! After leaving his
airport in PA, on my final landing at M38 I was racing a
thundershower
to the airport in some windy weather, was a bit fast, landing a bit
long, and not even lined up properly with the runway, and I managed
an
uneventful landing with absolutely no drama on roll-out, and stopped
with runway left over! What a dream. And I can actually see where
I’m
going when taxiing!
