> "Who on the Net has flown both, and what is the difference"
I think Lee was only asking about the differences between them, not which
one is better. There are differences of course, but if you've been
flying a taildragger KR getting in a tri-gear KR is like getting in a
two-place Grumman.
I thought that would get your attention :-)
Our EAA Chapter is pleased to announce the opening of EAA 21 Club. We
will be preparing Hamburgers, Brats and Hot Dogs for all that fly-in.
Just as New York's 21 Club has become known as the HAPPENING PLACE to be

Mike,
Ill be there from Sunday - Saturday I would love for the KR net heads to
get together for some liquid libation. We will be camping on the field.
I'll give you a call or you and anyone else there can call me . My cell is

Well said Mark,
I fly a nose dragger, as I do not have a tail wheel endorsement as yet.
But I have been in some bad ( strong) X wind landing in the KR, as my home
strip has only one runway.
The nose wheel set up handles them very well.

Well guys, I'm going to sign off from this forum. It is nice but I'm
not sure this is the place for me.

Well guys, It's that time of year again. It looks like I'll be spending the
whole week at Sun N Fun. We will arrive around lunch on Monday the 12th and
leave Saturday mourning for the drive home. Will there be any KRnet guys making
the trek this year and if so will there be an after hours meeti

Easier, safer, cheaper insurance, and increased sale opportunities

To end this argument over TD and NG, I'd like to point out that almost all
of the NG drivers I have seen, land their aircraft with a very nose high
attitude. My last bi-annual was very good with the exception that my
instructor made me go around again and land with the nose much higher than
on
Thank you Mark.. It doesn't matter whether it's a KR, A bellanca
Viking, or a DC8, it needs to be "done flying" at touch down. Bobby
KRnetHeads,
Just because there has to be one in every crowd, almost all of my landings
are 3 point. That's mainly because of my short strip, and I can't afford to
touch down 10 mph faster and burn up all that runway, even with my split
flaps. No, the KR can't do a full stall landing, but it r
I have a fairly stock KR2 with a Diehl fixed conventional gear, and will not
say that it is "impossible", just not "predictable". I have done it once,
but could never repeat it. Wheel landings feel more safe anyway. The stall
speed seems to vary on each KR, as you would expect with the weight an
I have been reading the Tri vs TD posts. I am particularly interested in
knowing more about the stall speed and behavior of the KR2 and KR2S in
this configuration. From what I have read so far , I have the impression
it is not possible to achieve a full stall landing in a TD KR2
(remember, mine
Randy,
Your KR may have been different than most. Wheel landings are the preferred
method for landing a KR, and that may be because the fixed gear puts the
angle of attack a bit higher than it would be on the retract gear, for which
the plane was designed. I hope that new pilots don't read this
All kidding aside. This is a true statement. I've made a good living
teaching tailwheel to guys and it boils down to what you are
comfortable with. The reality is that most tailwheel airplanes aren't
really harder than nose gear planes but are terribly unforgiving of
error and neglect. I ca
It is surprising how many people do not land 3 point I had over 600 hrs on my
KR before I sold it and I bet 95% of the landings where 3 point. I have a 47
Bellanca that all my landings are 3 point.
I believe it is what you are comfortable with.
