Well, I do not think I would compare it to the docile C-150. But I will give you credit for saying "almost as easy..." The tri-gear is much more forgiving on the ground than a taildragger but the take off and landings do not even compare to a C-150. I doubt that there is little if any difference between the KR taildragger and the tri-gear in flight characteristics other than the drag of the nosewheel. I still and always will have to stay on top of everything during take off and landing while one could almost take off and land a C-150 blind folded. If you want some comparison on landing a KR tri-gear, jump in a Warrior or an Archer and make finals at 120 mph slowing to 100 mph 1/2 mile from touchdown and chopping power over the beginning of the runway and landing fast. That is how I practiced for my first KR flight. Things happen fast in a KR so you must be ready to react. So, that being said, when do you want to fly my KR so you can get some first hand comparison? Besides, I would like to see it fly. Mark Jones (N886MJ) Wales, WI USA E-mail me at flyk...@wi.rr.com Visit my NEW KR-2S CorvAIRCRAFT web site at www.flykr2s.com
