Hi, check the website http://members.upc.nl/a.gremmen61/ At the pics 2005 you
can see the gear system of the cherry bx2. It is nice but also wat mark just
noted, it will be add weight. The only positif I think is the dead engine
outfield landing. It will save you from a tip over.

yup, I had a KR1 kit 25 years ago and had all that stuff (long since sold). It
was a cool looking and a cool simple system. IIRC, early designs had some bolt
breakage issues, and the spring bar would flex on hard landing and pop through
the top of the wing. so it wasnt perfect, but stringer bolt

This is a subject that as I get closer to finishing BOTH my airframe

looking at the pile of multiple MA-3SPA carbs I have been collecting

thanks all info appreciated while I try to explore which way to go.

KRs in IFR
I have been flying SOFT IFR for about 10 years and VFR only for about
5 years before that and all I can say is ANY aircraft regardless of
how equipped is a VFR ? Day aircraft if the pilot is not competent
for IFR.
The type of aircraft, instrumentation and n
These guys have excellent advice and experience.?
In regards to your retractable nose gear; how about a tail dragger
configuration? ? Eliminate the weight and complexity while maintaining
aerodynamic efficiency. If you are not familiar with tail wheel configured
aircraft they are not too scary
"As William Wynne likes to say, every day spent building is
another day you are closer to losing your medical."
Not to worry. There will soon be relatively inexpensive out-of-the-box
solutions enabling us to remotely pilot our KR's. With remotely
controlled hangar doors, we won't even have to
The original KR landing gear system was a main-gear retracting taildragger.
I've actually got a full set of it lying around in my hangar, as when I
bought my project it had the original gear (and I wanted a fixed-tri)...

Oh, and the most important reason to go with fixed gear (I can't believe
I left this one out) is the GEAR-UP landing! I built mine fixed because
I knew if I had retracts, my first landing would be a gear-up landing,
and my third, and my 10th...etc. I later proved that theory, although I

Hey All,
I have been pondering the possibility of tri-gear retracts on a KR1. (This is
experimental aviation after all!).
First, before I search the archives, has this been done?
If not, I'm assuming that since fixed tri-gear KR's exist (which is probably
what I'll end up doing!), the rear spar i
