I have put my KR in the water. It left a bruise across my chest from the belt
but nothing else happened. I set up for 65 mph until I was about 5 feet off the
water. I pulled ba

Hi John
Choosing to land on water should be considered only as a last resort. The
deceleration forces are huge, if you survive the ditching you could find
yourself unconscious or semi-consci

Not too long ago a kr-2 went down here in Washington. I understood it
to be a fatality event. There were pics on the internet and a short
video of an automobile tow truck trying to right the plane, which was
tri-gear equipped and after landing in a (soft) field flipped over, I am

Has anyone ever converted the gear to tri-gear. I am guessing that I will
have to move the main spring gear backward and fabricate a front wheel?

I think the "Pig" had an A-65 Continental but that's close. I'm "guessing"
the 0-200 with accessories would be 30 pounds heaver, give or take.
We have a standard KR2 in Australia with a 0-200, Rego is VH-XXS, he says it
stands for extra extra small.

I often wish I had put an 0200 on mine, so if you find a good one, maybe you
should get it while you can.

need to convert it to a tri gear. Any information on this would be

I have the DD tri gear but haven't yet got the nose gear. I've met both

The more changes you make the longer it takes to finish. Some changes may be
worthwhile though.

HiAll.
I have been following the KR posts for several weeks now and have finally
decided to take advantage of the collective knowlege out there in KR land.
I started building a KR2 a long time ago with fellow builder, Kerry

Per,
You said " hopefully,I will be able to complete the KR, this time ", and
then you said "I want to change the ".
I just want to raise the red flag for you here. These two statements
conflict. Your best chance for success it to finish the plane without
changing anything that does not have to
