Pierre,
Nose high might cause some excessive drag and extend your take off roll. Mine is dead level. It accelerates fine then I lift off (at 60 mph) and then go level again in ground effect to accelerate to 80 mph before I rotate out and climb. I have taken off in grass using a soft field take off (nose up to keep it our of the grass), and it seems to take forever for the plane to get up speed. Thanks, Rob Schmitt N1852Z www.robert7721.com -----Original Message----- From: Pierre <pierre at drafts.co.za> To: krnet <krnet at list.krnet.org> Sent: Mon, Jan 6, 2014 4:14 am Subject: KR> Prop clearance now extended nose gear Hi all. In response to Stef's comment about extending the nose gear (on a tri-cycle) to just below take off attitude. I have done just that, but I am still a fair distance from starting tests on the KR2S. Have lots of glassing, sanding and painting to do, but I would also love to hear comments on this nose high attitude on tri-gear KR2. Mine is (Wild guess) approximately 15-20 degrees up. but I will attempt to do some measuring later. It allows me to see the ground about 20-30 meters in front of the plane when sitting in a normal sitting attitude, but with my neck stretched forward. Take care and a blessed 2014 to all.
