Steve, I have not done anything about the extensions as my KR was involved in an incident on the taxiway. A truck was left parked on the taxiway in a curve to the right late in the afternoon about 6 weeks ago. The truck was grey with dark trees in the background. The truck did not have flashing lights or any hazard lights, flags, etc. and remained in a blind spot even with s-turning. As Frank was s-turn taxiing to 18 for a late afternoon flight the right wing impacted the back of the truck and caused the plane to spin around and impact the truck at the front fender. My insurance company had me send the engine to Great Plains for tear-down, inspection, and rebuild. I have not gotten it back yet. Fiberglass damage was done to the wing tip and strobe/position lights. It will probably be spring before I will be flying again, probably. I am having Steve at Great Plains install a Force One prop hub on the engine. The Force One hub is an inch longer than the shrink fit hub I originally had so I will have to do a new weight and balance before determining if I will need to extend the engine mount. Will let you know. Good news, the insurance company for the owner of the truck just called and said the check is in the mail. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dan Heath" <da...@alltel.net> To: <kr...@mylist.net> Sent: Friday, December 15, 2006 3:56 AM Subject: RE: KR> Ballistic Chute on a KR2?
