KR> TRIGEAR KR2 - KR Newsletters
Hi Mark I do have the nose gear that was in the KR but you are right in saying I don't know anything about it. The guy that said he would buy it said he would come today. I called him last night Saturday. .and he changed to Monday or Tuesday or Wednesday. ?So I'm not real sure if it is sold yet. Will let you know for sure. Dennis ?Brooks?

I wonder if >> you could describe how the trigear retract was done? You guys apparently missed that I forwarded that KR2 for sale email... it wasn't MY KR2, and the guy selling it may know very little about it, as the plane was given to him by the widow of the guy that built it many years ago.? The all-retractable gear setup was mentioned in several issues of the KR Newsletters, which are two thousand pages of searchable PDF files, located at http://www.krnet.org/newsletter/ .? Below is an excerpt from issue number 47, in 1979. "KR-2 N24BD Bill DeFreeze was on hand to demonstrate his retractable tri-gear system to all comers. If you're looking for the least expensive, quickest to build, retractable trigear, Bill has it. He's selling plans to the system, one that utilizes many of Rand/ Robinson's existing parts. A twenty dollar bill will get you the easy to follow drawings and construction photos. ? I believe John Shaffer's "KR2SS" has them (or something similar) now. There are some photos of it at one of the Gatherings also, although his may be a different incarnation than the plans version.? I had lunch with John at OSH this year, but I forgot to ask him if he would be at the Gathering this year.? I hope so, and I know I will be. It's worth pointing out that retracts on KRs went by the wayside after Dan Diehl proved that his fixed gear, when properly faired, weighs less and has lower drag than the RR plans-built retracts, and you don't have to worry about gear-up landings!? They do look cool, and you can make them pretty slippery if done right (like Don Betchan did using motorcycle forks).? But still, there's that pesky gear-up thing! For those who have not discovered the KR Newsletters, reading these will keep you spellbound with KR history, innovation, improvements, and many ways to build and fly KRs, for weeks to come.? Reading these will make you a lot "KR smarter"... Mark Langford ML at N56ML.com http://www.n56ml.com ___ Search the KRnet Archives at http://tugantek.com/archmailv2-kr/search.
