? ? I would recommend the "Aviation Products" tailwheel assembly that has served me well for 550 hours now. I think Mark Langford used that same assembly on 56ML I modified it a while back by having the arm lengthened a bit over one inch and installed a Matco 6" fully pneumatic wheel assembly

?Anyways, my question today is about tail wheel springs. If I?m lucky my plane will look a bit like Pete Brautigam?s, and he has a very nice looking tail wheel spring set up. Most of the KR?s I see pictures of do not have tail wheel connect springs, which seems quite unusual. Clearly it must

Hi Guys, Thanks for the input on the aileron gap seals. Many of the gap seals on KR?s I?ve seen on the web we made of a 10mil mylar. A few mentioned that they get sucked into the gap making control difficult, and most with the RAF 48 airfoil don?t see improved performance. Could it be that a

The only spring we have at the moment is old stock of the original plans spring. It is marginal at best unless used on very light KR's. I haven't been in the office or at the hangar since I turned the website back on. Thought I was going to have a few weeks to catch up but had construction

Carbon fiber is somewhat brittle, so I would not do that. I put an auto leaf spring on the Little Beast after the original got twisted. We have the normal spring on this KR, but it's extension is very short, so I am anticipating no problems with the spring. I just wish I had that tail wheel
