>The KR-2 is too short for a tail wheel. Maybe the 2-S is OK once you're used to it but the shorter "2" is no fun at all with a tail wheel.< All I can say to this is HORSE HOCKEY! I have a straight short body 2 with fixed conventional gear and love the way it handles on the ground and in the air.

KR> RE: tri gear and taildragger

I made my first five flights in my KR-2 as a tail dragger on a long paved and wide runway. The last landing was hard enough to bend the left main gear and send the wheel partially into the stub wing. It also scraped the right wing tip on the trailing edge. There were three fire engines that showed

KR> Spar vs. Capstrip spruce stock

All, Should have asked this as well. If capstrip is unsuitable for the wing spars is it also unsuitable for the spars used in the horizontal and vertical stabilizers? If so, not a problem as I will calculate width needed including kerf loss, order 5/8" spar stock, and rip them myself.

KR> Spar vs. Capstrip spruce stock

All, Still trying to get my Aircraft Spruce wood order right and I have a few questions. Is capstrip suitable for use as spar and longeron material? In their online catalog Aircraft Spruce states that their capstrip stock is "non-structural". Aren't spars considered structural? The

KR> delamination repairs

Daniel, Depending on how large the area is to repair, it might be easier to form the trailing edge with thickened epoxy (flox) alone, using a straight edge, but if you use shaped aluminum, you could drill a bunch of little holes in the aluminum and epoxy (flox) the aluminum to the trailing

KR> delamination repairs

I've been thinking about my trailing edge delamination issue. As all y'all know, the trailing edge (per plans) is formed when the upper and lower surfaces are joined together at a point, and then trimmed to shape. Since my trailing edges are now coming apart at the corners (granted it's an

KR> delamination repairs

After a hard landing some years ago, my 1983 KR2 became a hangar queen for many years, before I acquired it. There is some delamination here and there, and some gaps exposed foam at the stub wings and outboard wing roots. Naturally I want to fix all that. Broken parts can always be rebuilt,

What effect if any does the engine have on flying a KR-2 with 2 people? You would think that a larger engine like an 0-200 would bring the CG forward more as opposed to an Volkswagon 1853. How does the wing design effect the flying characteristics with 2 people? The stock KR-2 wing vs. Diehl
