Hi Lee, from your post, I gather you have original KR retracts on your
plane?
Can I get details on the gear locking mechanism you are using? I have KR
retracts on my plane too and I need to start thinking about the locking
mechanisms while I can still get to it easily. I have looked through
.Check list, Check list, Check list. You would have remembered to put the
flaps up.
As far as the forgetting to put the gear down. I use the gear like flaps,
pull back on throttle slow and drop gear (flaps).
And with the fix on the gear locking mech. I have never had a problem.

I built some fairly huge split flaps for my plane, and their performance is
nothing short of awesome. I was going to gradually test them in the first
few flights, but on my second flight I was checking
I have built 2 KR2, and was always dead set against flaps or speed brake (
belly board ) because I considered them to only add complexity and weight to
the KR. However, after reading all the glowing remarks on the belly board,
and having to slip to a landing almost every time, I decided to give it

Hi Dave
Here is my 2 cents worth, a few extracts from my WEB page.
My belly board does increase my rate of decent (a lot) and does improve
vision over the nose (both are easily achieved by side slipping).
You could not pay me to do it again nor would I add it during building (what

You will want one or the other for drag in the landing phase to help
stabilize the approach. A belly board is the least complica

Hi! Has there been debate on the KR Net about belly boards vs. flaps? I'm
getting close to committing an starting a build. This is just one of many
questions I'm sure to have along the way. Studying plans and drawings now.
Thanks for the help so far... It is reassuring to see so much great
