KR> wheel vs tail landing

Steve Bennett said, > ". . . my original KR-1 that had the aluminum channel mounts, it was almost impossible to do a wheel landing." My first KR was like that with two people in it. Slow it down for landing and the tail would drop like a rock. Had to land way above stall to avoid banging it

KR> Aileron hing

Hey Guys, I found another squawk on N357CJ over the weekend. I discovered a slight bind in the left aileron. That in it's self was not a big deal as I had installed a washer that was there for a spacer on the wrong side of the heim bearing at the aileron connection. As I was putting the bolt

Don't think this was a KR2. Shots I saw on the news Sunday evening showed it was all metal. Cheers, Tony King Brisbane Australia On 29 March 2010 18:41, phillip matheson wrote: > Sorry to say guys, But a KR2 crash down under > > See news clip below. > > Phil

KR> wheel vs tail landing

In the for what its worth catagory, my original KR-1 that had the aluminum channel mounts, it was almost impossible to do a wheel landing. The CG in the aircraft was a ways - aft. Ray Ellis had a KR-1 at the time with an actual motor mount that moved the CG forward. It did wonderful wheel

KR> tri gear and taildragger

> "Who on the Net has flown both, and what is the difference" I think Lee was only asking about the differences between them, not which one is better. There are differences of course, but if you've been flying a taildragger KR getting in a tri-gear KR is like getting in a two-place Grumman.
