My Kr has never flown, but has gotten everything needed. This includes its airworthiness certificate. After a long night of measuring and contemplating the biggest factor which is safety of course, I am left with needing to change the landing gear. Flaps and a belly board add a level of safety I want. I am not saying that it cannot be flown the way it is, I just would rather have the flaps. Since changing to fixed gear is a major remodel for me, I am still working on fixing the damage done prior to purchasing, I will be taking the winter to add wing tanks and convert to dual stick.
I would like to say thank you again for krnet. -----Original Message----- From: krnet-bounces+clay.wills1=cox....@mylist.net [mailto:krnet-bounces+clay.wills1=cox....@mylist.net] On Behalf Of Dj Merrill Sent: Wednesday, October 20, 2010 10:19 AM To: KRnet Subject: Re: KR> Regarding retract gear KR On 11/20/2010 01:18 AM, Lee Van Dyke wrote: > Not true.
