> "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.

KRnetHeads, Just because there has to be one in every crowd, almost all of my landings are 3 point. That's mainly because of my short strip, and I can't afford to touch down 10 mph faster and burn up all that runway, even with my split flaps. No, the KR can't do a full stall landing, but it
