Looks, Speed, money, and adding something else that can break your plane. The KR has to be the easiest conventional gear airplane that there is to fly It is so easy that even I can do it.
See N64KR at http://KRBuilder.org - Then click on the pics See you at the 2008 - KR Gathering in Mt. Vernon, Ill There is a time for building and a time for FLYING and the time for Flying has begun. Daniel R. Heath - Lexington, SC -------Original Message------- Why give up performance and looks just for some temporary ease of ground handling? You'll soon get used to the conventional gear and it will seem just as natural to you as the tri-gear does to the tricycle guys. Pushing a draggy old strut around everywhere you go just doesn't seem natural.
