If it's a Diehl nose gear, it should be fairly strong. If it's home built. .well. Also, if it's a Diehl and it collapsed, it is possible the owner didn't install it properly. The best thing to do is ask the seller how he did the nose gear in. i.e.: Did he come in hot and plant the nose before the mains? Did he run off the runway/taxiway and/or hit some "thing" with the nose? I'd mainly want to know how and why the nose gear collapsed. Just my two pennies worth. The weather is finally cooperating and I'm back to work on my little KR-1.

The kr on ebay and a Kr near by both have collapsed nose wheels.. Is the tri-gear prone to porposing or is it a weak link? _______________________________________ to UNsubscribe from KRnet, send a message to krnet-le...@mylist.net please see other KRnet info at http://www.krnet.org/info.html
