Steven, Since a well designed retractable landing gear system is such a highly desirable item for a good many members of the net, why not try to make some kind of a deal with John Shaffer to get some scale drawings or plans from him and publish them on someone's web site for all to use. Do you know if John Shaffer has plans to have drawings produced by a technical illustrator and market them. The KR designs are very fast now with minimum power, just think how much faster they would be with a retractable landing gear. I think that if such a system or at least the plans for one was available, future builders would use it and a good many flying KRs would be converted.

It is of his design. No he is not on the net. But is a really nice guy. He said it took two years to build the gear alone. I have not had my pictures of the gathering developed yet. But, when I do I will see if I have a good picture and try to get it to you.
