Thanks Rick for the good suggestion to convert my bird to a trigear. I see
most of the older air planes (in the 60s, 50s or earlier) were taildraggers,

Thanks Larry. What you did showing in the picture is such a simple &
excellent solution!
I notice that you have hydraulic breaks. Mine is cable, not good at all

Another issue on improving the landing safey for taildraggers is perhaps to

I I think the biggest problem with taildragger is the poor visibility or
the restricted pilot views outside the cockpit, primarily during taxing and
landings. Since I have gotten a taildragger, and I realize it's much harder
to find a pilot who can test flying this bird, much less hope of flying it
Tricycles drive better. Tailwheels fly better.

My tailwheel experience comes from flying a 45HP Rotax 447 engined Mini-Max
R1600. My buddy passed away and his wife asked me to sell the airplane. I had
to move it from its Homebase airport to Mesquite Metro Airport (KHQZ) in
Dallas. That was one hell of an adventure. Thank God that HKQZ has a

Taylor monoplane. Some thoughts on tailwheel training. For those new pilots
wanting to get some stick time in a taildragger there are 2 seat ag plane's
such as Piper Pawnee that has some compairneson to a KR touchy elevator and
so on. May be worth checking in your local area for this type of plane.

I don't know if flying a tri-gear is the moral of the story, however it
surely does make ground handling more comfortable since you can see
things better and are sitting in a level, more natural, attitude. I was
amazed the first

Fly a tri-gear.

Please let me clarify.
I was assuming his plane was a taildragger. That was the picture he had
attached.
I'd totally agree with your assessment if his plane is a tricycle geared
plane. Then its flight characteristics
are like the Grummans.

Thanks Randall for the encouraging words! Just curious, what did you mean
by "blown six KRs"? Did you mean that you fixed or destroyed six KRs?!
I can certainly come to pick you up with an AF pilot friend flying my Piper

Hi,
I'm a KR member, and can feel for you.
Shame you did not catch me a month ago on my return from california.
I regularly fly/drive to see my kids in California, we can work something
out.

Find somebody with a bunch of time in an RV six or eight. They are very very
similar in the way they handled and how light the controls are. If somebody has
lots of time tail wheel RV that would be better. Even though yours might be a
nose gear. If I was in New Mexico I would do it for you. I ha
Just enjoyed reading your fantastic dairy of flying your KR2s over the
Pacific shoreline during this past weekend! Wow, you and John have painted
a beautiful picture on how life on earth is supposed to be with owning such
a little affordable bird called KR2!! Wish more of us would take the
bird
guys can significantly
improve your mini-gatherings.
