Re: KRnet> Landing at Idle - was Converting to tri-gear(maybe?)

Mark, I also use the same technique in my KR2S of throttling back to idle, once I feel the airport is made I and landing without touching the throttle.  This seems very natural to me as I learned to fly in gliders, where we didn't have a throttle to distract us, and also developed slipping skil

I picked up a set of King size flannel sheets at a GoodWill Thrift store for a couple bucks years ago. Keeps my plane nice and clean, except for the bugs on the leading edges after flying.Todd ThelinSpanaway WAN825MWSent from my iPhoneOn 6 Sep 2024, at 12:45 PM, Randy Smith via KRnet wrote:

KR> Dirty Belly

I have been tod that a large percentage of dirty belly problems are traced to over filling of the crankcase (on VW conversions anyway) often attributed to the dipstick not calibrated correctly, which causes excess oil to be blown out the vent tube, and that once the oil level is adjusted to the
