Steve Bennett said, > ". . . my original KR-1 that had the aluminum channel mounts, it was almost impossible to do a wheel landing."
My first KR was like that with two people in it. Slow it down for landing and the tail would drop like a rock. Had to land way above stall to avoid banging it down tail first. The original KR-2 retractable is a wonderful plane for one person and a real handfull with two - not to mention how uncomfortable it is squashed shoulder to shoulder with heads tilting to the center (with the RR canopy). I had a center stick and flew it from the center, feet on each of the outboard rudder pedals. For one person that worked beautifully. With two people in it you had to hold forward stick for landing. Good practice in getting the feel for aft-CG flying, but not fun. Mike KSEE ____________________________________________________________ Nutrition Improve your career health.
