KR> Diehl Gear

2008-10-12 Thread Kenhenderson
Got a great Diehl on a set of Diehl landing gear. Noticed from his website that the first design was lengthened by 4" to increase flex. Does anyone know the length of the legs after the 4" was added? Just want to know if I have the new or old setup. Thanks, Ken

All, Thanks for the reply. My gear measures 23 1/4" so I guess it is the latest configuration. I will work forward from there. As to the landing accident, I have been bucked off a horse while gathering cattle and can relate to "getting back on the horse"! I have also, as a low time pilot, m

Netters, I am pursuing a deal on a set of KR-2S supplemental plans and a Diehl Gear. Can someone tell me how many pages of drawings, etc. are included in the KR-2S supplements so I can be sure I am getting the full set? Also, does anyone have a parts list or description for the Diehl Landing

Chris Johnson, I e-mailed Dan Diehl on the 7th after reading your post. Heard back from him today the 10th. He is still making the wing skins, they are $2200 US now with a $100 crating charge. Hope this helps. Ken Henderson

I want to thank all that replied both on and off net to my plans questions and those that came to my defense concerning the "thou shalt not steal" comment. I think as a new builder it is important not to be insecure or thin skinned enough to let such things bother me. I feel that Ron had not rea

Hi All, I have been monitoring the KRNet for about a year and am finally making the plunge. I am the proud owner of 2 KR-2 kits (I am the 4th owner of both I think) and I am firmly committed to making an flying airplane of my parts. One kit was shipped in '79 and the other around '84. The first

Thanks to all who replied to my first post. I have several dumb questions to ask about plans. I have 2 sets, 1 from 1975 with a serial # and 1 from 1984 with no number. It has been advised that I contact Jeanette Rand and have my name transferred to the numbered plans. Do you have to have a set
