Mark, Interesting that you should mention this. When flying the KR-1, I landed the same way as Troy suggested to you (well, maybe not 10 mph faster). I was always a little nervous about closing the throttle on approach with the VW. When I knew I had the field was made, I would rather keep the rpm up to about 1500 or so and drive it on to the mains and almost immediately the tail would fall with a little "plop".
Glad your having so much fun with the KR. Ed Ed Janssen mailto:ejans...@chipsnet.com least a foot below the mains all the way in. Next time around, he said, come in 10 knots faster and keep the nose low all the way to the ground, and just "fly" the thing on to the ground. I did, and it was a pretty good one! It reminded me that Bill Clapp had taught me the same method, but I'd forgotten it while rebuilding my engine.
