KR> ideal tail dragger gear height /angle of attack

I don not think that the KR can be landed full stall as the aoa would have to be about 13 degrees. Hard to do with the tail dragger configuration, Virg On 2/15/2011 6:32 AM, PilotPond wrote: > Could someone remind me what is the ideal angle the airplane should be

Could someone remind me what is the ideal angle the airplane should be at when on the ground in tail dragger gear configuration? My thinking is that during the landing you get a full stall of the wings which if my limited understand of design is correct; should allow the steerable tail wheel with
