I noticed that it appears that his engine, indeed, was dead ie the prop was not
turning in the video as the officer was facing the aircraft on approach.
Under the circumstances, I think the pilot did an excellent job avoiding a
crash and the cars on the road. Notice in the video how he avoided
Is bet he could give us a good hour talk on how he managed a successful outcome
in such a harsh landing environment. I’d be willing to bet that keeping himself
cool and collected played a major role in his dilemma.

Sid, Looks like you've about got this landing thing figured out.
Congratulations.

I've cut a 2 liter coke container to cover the landing light. It is cast to
conform to the leading edge and very tough. Peter
Good question...i plan on using formed plexiglass.

Just curious, why would someone use polycarbonate over plexyglass for
a landing light lens? I'm not overly concerned about a bird strike
taking out my landing light
Don't mix apples and oranges...the mishap was polycarbonate...not
plexyglass. Polycarbonate is also used for birdproof windscreens but is
sandwiched between layers of acrylic to protect it from the elements...i've
seen the super slo-mo test videos...not pretty.

Polycarbonate has some really good characteristics and some really bad
ones. It can take a whole lot of energy and not fail...but it can also
break just under static stress when it comes in contact with certain
chemicals. The really bad thing is when it fails, it fails almost
explosively. Really

Joe,
That is encouraging , I just bought a project KR2, it hasa retractable main
gear and tail wheel.
If you give assistance on how did you install and convert the KR2 to nose wheel.
Please contact me and any one had expertise on that subject.
Thank you in advance.

I have flown both the tail wheel and nose wheel gear on my KR-2 and by far
the nose wheel is the most practical, due to the increased visibility and
superior ground handling characteristics. One bad thing with the nose wheel
is that if you break it you won't take off, whereas with a bent tail wheel

Hi everyone,
I have a couple of new questions.
Awhile back , when I wrote about putting toe brakes on my Kr2, a gentleman
warned me to beef up the rudder control horn else I would bend it pressing to
hard on the brakes. I have found this to be true.
On my sonerai this was never a issue due to the

Hi everyone,

Awhile back , when I wrote about put
If you are using hydraulic brakes, this should not be a problem, because you
will not have to apply that much pressure.
I believe that the early KRs had a cable running between the calipers,
through the cockpit, that you could grab and pull. I know of one Old Timer
who flew his that way for many
What a great Idea Serge, I'm going to give it a try.
Thanks
