Hi, Terry.
Mine is in the same configuration, only with a slightly wider main U/C
(wheel track is 1.70m, which is 5.57 ft. And indeed, the aircraft is hard
to keep on track (takes a lot of rudder work), but you get accustomed to
it after a while.
So, you have a choice: either you train hard, or you widen the gear; but I
think you can't expect miracles from a wider gear.
My 2 cents worth.

Objet : KR> Gear width/crosswind
Flying my KR-2 t/d and the crosswind landings are very exciting to say the
least. I purchased the plane used and the gear is very narrow. The gear
is bolted to the mainspar on the inside of the fuse right under your legs
and is probably nearly 4.8 ft wide in track. What effect would the plane
have if they were moved out to the stubs in the normal area. The plane
flies great but landings are very exciting even without a crosswind
component. Any suggestions or advice?
