Merry Christmas to you also Dan, and that is good news on your recovery. I have had the plans type and the breakaway tail wheel, both steerable, and have had no issues with either. Of course, I like the breakaway that I have now, from Aviation Products, much better than any other that I have ever had. I think Larry and Mark L. both use this one. When the tail wheel is on the ground, the plane goes where I point it, and has with all the different ones that I have used. Before I had the breakaway, I used expansion springs to the wheel, but with the breakaway, I have it connected directly.
See N64KR at http://KRBuilder.org - Then click on the pics See you at the 2010 - KR Gathering in Richmond, Ky - I39 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----- I don't know if there is anyone who is using a castering/locking tail wheel on a KR but if there is I would like very much to hear their real world input on this subject as well as those who use the plans style rudder/tail wheel interconnection method. Your crosswind takeoff/landing technique would be very informative to the rest of us.
