Good comments Ray.
The symptoms of hypoxia manifest themselves in various ways. Many people have
a tingling in their lips or finger tips. My only symptom is that I get very
drowsy and unfocused.
Living in the mountains, I am acclimated to higher altitudes and routinely fly

Ray, the takeaway for you is that your tingling symptoms will always be there
if you are experiencing hypoxia. Hopefully you felt some at least some
flushing also, that is commonly associated with the tingling. Everyone reacts
slightly differently, but the symptoms are repeatable so that when
I appreciate all the comments and concerns about main wheel gear placement
for a tri-gear KR-2. I know the main gear placement on my KR-2 needs
improvement. I can work that.
One pronouncement is conspicuously missing: What should the horizontal
distance be in inches from the datum to the gear
Hello All,
Not KR related, but definitely aviation related. The 99's are having a
convention this week in New Orleans and one of the seminars was/is on
hypoxia and is open to all pilots in the area. I went there (instead of
listening to Mark) on Wednesday and it was excellent. it's one thing to
Of course if you ever land this thing really hard on that leg, the
discontinuity in the leg where the old holes were drilled will likely be the
place it breaks, and if it breaks you may have prop/crank/spar issues
afterwards. There is something to be said for new gear legs if you ditch
the rea
Now that I notice that gap at the very bottom of the gear, the bottom bolts
would see some tension, rather than compression, but the gear bracket itself
is still doing most of the resistance to bending. I'd let the available
hole spacing be my guide, but sandwiching the bottom of the leg a bit

Hi Sid,
I don't want to come across as some sort of know it all or expert on KR landing
gear because I have only moved the landing gear brackets from the front side of
a KR2 spar/shear web to the aft side and installed new Diehl glass gear legs
once on a KR2 to transform a taildragger to a trige

I sent an email last night but don't think it showed up. The photo I attached
must have been too large. Basically on tri gear leg there is a short side and a
long side on the upper taper. They short side goes against the mounting
bracket and the long side falls right in line with the bottom of
