Actually, I wish I knew then, what I know now. After having built 2 KRs and
having to go back and modify this one, I have learned a few things. I do
enjoy working on the KR, but I do not like getting myself in long drawn out
projects that keep me from flying.
So, with a center stick, why does ev

And then once you'd done that, you'd decide to put in a different engine
or wings with the new airfoil. Face it Dan, you'd rather take these
things apart and put
That is a pretty KR, but if I had it, the first thing I would do, would be
to get rid of that retract gear, and the next thing would be to put in dual
sticks. Nice KR.
I am sure that the covers were not part of the plans, and there is a reason
why the re-design of that gear mechanism took up most
I feel like sticking up for the retractable gear. My first KR had them
and they worked beautifully. The covers that covered the wheels when
retracted acted as speed brakes with the gear extended. I don't know if
these wheelcovers/drag brakes were part of the original design, but I
think so. I s
When the subject of retractable gear comes up I always suspected that
perhaps the best way to go would be to retract the nose gear and
leave the main gear down and very well faired. This would be a
combination that would be low drag and not too complicated. A lot of
the drag of a fixed gea

The Mooney style retract bar w/ locking mechanism is what I copied in my
KR1. I'm putting clam shell type doors on it and I had a friend with a

My recently acquired and "nearly done" KR2 has retractable gear, which I must
assume is "old style". It does, however, have a safety latch to keep it from
accidently collapsing due to rough taxiing or just an accidental release, as it
take two levers to retract the gear. Anyone know more about
