Please do not say there are NO differences between landing 3 point and wheel
landing. THAT is just not true!
In your experience you may not have had any difference show itself, but do
not lead some pilots who are looking to this list for guidance to believe
that landing 3 point is as easy and shou

Like I said. It is what you are comfortable with.
there are arguments both ways. On a tail wheel plane

I suppose the bottom line is 3 pointing lands the plane at the lowest
possible air speed, so this is the most stable way to make a landing.
As Mark mentioned the 3 point attitude gives a wing incidence of about 9
degrees, the wings will stall at 17 degrees, so the planes not close to
the stall at

the tailwheel 1st. You should not be bouncing then. I do it with my VP2 and
the landings looks like perfect 3 pointers.

That's about what I do. Sometimes the tailwheel hits first,
not the case with the Kitfox. How does the KR2 compare to a Kitfox in terms
of landing? Is it mush more difficult to fly?

Hi Guy's;
I've been reading all of the e-mails on landing KR's and which is the best way
to do it. Well, I've done it both ways but I decided to give it a lot of
practice in X-Plane and see if I could decide which way I thought was best (it
really depends on your skill at either) so I set up a

So I guess the question goes on, you'll have to decide for yourself.

Well actually you don't, if you are willing to take the advise of those who
have been there and done that. I sold my first KR and explained about how
to land the plan

It's not impossible, I did it while learning to do wheel landings in my
C-170B at Manassas, VA in the 70's. Cost me a trip to Sensenich in PA and
1/2" from the tips.
