Yes, the one piece Grove does come out under the fuselage, but it uses 3 gear mount brackets and they are not from the original retract. I had one on my first KR2.
See N64KR at http://KRBuilder.org - Then click on the pics See you at the 2012 - KR Gathering in Mt. Vernon, Il MVN 40th Anniversary There is a time for building and it is over. Daniel R. Heath - Lexington, SC http://www.krbuilder.org/MyUSA/ -----Original Message----- I recall seeing one KR (@12 years ago) with the gear coming out of the bottom of the fuselage, don't know if it was Diel or Grove. It may have been a 1-piece Grove unit using the original retractable mounts.
