Thanks to all those who sent me pics of the early retract systems . It really put my crappy dialup connection to the test! Looking at those planes makes one realise just how much the KR has evolved over the years. Thanks again guys. Regards Dene Collett KR2SRT builder South africa Whisper

Guys, The one project I have here has a retract handle that folds up. You have leverage to retract the gear, but there is very little leverage to extend the gear. For those of you who have flown the retract version, how much torque does it take to snap the gear downBobby

Very little, if the handle moves freely while on the ground, that is the same as you will need in the air. Lee - Original Message - From: <bo...@hatconversions.com> To: <kr...@mylist.net> Sent: Saturday, January 21, 2006 6:40 PM Subject: KR> Retract gear > Guys, >

Bobby, That might be a big mistake. Save your KR and put a fixed gear on it. I had to crash my first one 3 times before I finally got wise and put on a fixed. Never crashed it again. The crashes were caused by gear collapse. See N64KR at http://KRBuilder.org - Then click on the pics See

Hi Bobby. Another factor to consider when deciding to modify or not is that the KR with retracts is not a soft or rough field aircraft for several reasons. The aircraft is too close to the ground, and the retracts were too springy. My gear uplock per plans shook so hard and violently during my

I am going to say what most KR builders already know. The only real solution to problems, note I said problems, with the retract gear, is to replace it with a fixed gear. I went through 3 failures of the retract before putting on a fixed, on my first KR. If you are not having problems, then, don't
