I thought that would get your attention :-) Our EAA Chapter is pleased to announce the opening of EAA 21 Club. We will be preparing Hamburgers, Brats and Hot Dogs for all that fly-in. Just as New York's 21 Club has become known as the HAPPENING PLACE to be and be seen, EAA 21 Club is the

Mike, Ill be there from Sunday - Saturday I would love for the KR net heads to get together for some liquid libation. We will be camping on the field. I'll give you a call or you and anyone else there can call me . My cell is 803-308-0791. John Godwin > Subject: KR> Sun N Fun > > > Well guys,

Well said Mark, I fly a nose dragger, as I do not have a tail wheel endorsement as yet. But I have been in some bad ( strong) X wind landing in the KR, as my home strip has only one runway. The nose wheel set up handles them very well. Phil Matheson SAAA Ch 20 www.phils...@50megs.com -

Well guys, I'm going to sign off from this forum. It is nice but I'm not sure this is the place for me. On Mar 28, 2010, at 11:49 AM, Dj Merrill wrote: > On 3/28/2010 8:50 AM, Randy Smith wrote: >> And I bet it made him feel good too. Answer 1 question why put a >> nosegear on it? > >

Well guys, It's that time of year again. It looks like I'll be spending the whole week at Sun N Fun. We will arrive around lunch on Monday the 12th and leave Saturday mourning for the drive home. Will there be any KRnet guys making the trek this year and if so will there be an after hours

To end this argument over TD and NG, I'd like to point out that almost all of the NG drivers I have seen, land their aircraft with a very nose high attitude. My last bi-annual was very good with the exception that my instructor made me go around again and land with the nose much higher than

Thank you Mark.. It doesn't matter whether it's a KR, A bellanca Viking, or a DC8, it needs to be "done flying" at touch down. Bobby

KR> tri gear and taildragger

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

KR> tri gear and taildragger

I have a fairly stock KR2 with a Diehl fixed conventional gear, and will not say that it is "impossible", just not "predictable". I have done it once, but could never repeat it. Wheel landings feel more safe anyway. The stall speed seems to vary on each KR, as you would expect with the weight

KR> tri gear and taildragger

I have been reading the Tri vs TD posts. I am particularly interested in knowing more about the stall speed and behavior of the KR2 and KR2S in this configuration. From what I have read so far , I have the impression it is not possible to achieve a full stall landing in a TD KR2 (remember,

KR> tri gear and taildragger update.......

Randy, Your KR may have been different than most. Wheel landings are the preferred method for landing a KR, and that may be because the fixed gear puts the angle of attack a bit higher than it would be on the retract gear, for which the plane was designed. I hope that new pilots don't read this

KR> tri gear and taildragger update.......

All kidding aside. This is a true statement. I've made a good living teaching tailwheel to guys and it boils down to what you are comfortable with. The reality is that most tailwheel airplanes aren't really harder than nose gear planes but are terribly unforgiving of error and neglect. I

KR> tri gear and taildragger update.......

It is surprising how many people do not land 3 point I had over 600 hrs on my KR before I sold it and I bet 95% of the landings where 3 point. I have a 47 Bellanca that all my landings are 3 point. I believe it is what you are comfortable with. --- On Sat, 3/27/10, Lee Van Dyke
