Mark,
The old literature I have from Diehl Aero-Nautical on the KR 2 Landing Gear
states “gear has been tested to 5Gs” .
I also have had a few bad “drop in “ landings that tested the gear to that

Bernie,
Fair question. We SHOULD be current through 2003. At least that is what the
current system imported as of Feb 2, 2017.

Probably because you haven't seen anyone use the conventional gear for a tri
gear configuration. It makes it harder to rotate with higher speeds needed.
The use of the conventional gear caused the nose gear to shimmy and break.
That also is one of the factors why Dan changed the gear leg profile an

I'll also add "Thank you for the posting." It is precisely this type of
accurate, factual and historical information that we run the archives for in
the first place.
Langford reminds members to "Search the archives before posting questions as

Someone clear this up. There are two types of Diehl legs out there. One has a
straight edge the entire length on one side and the other style has an angle on
both edges. Which is the current style and which should be used on which gear

That's the first I've heard of issues with the nose dropping abruptly on
the tri-gear versions, so it looks like a bit more investigation is in

recommended gear angles with respect to CG for both conventional and
tri-gear installat
