On a grass strip that works a lot better I think. Much easier on the
tailwheel than pavement.

That's essentially how I land mine, although I usually manage to hit mains

I think Lee was only asking about the differences between them, not which
one is better. There are differences of course, but if you've been
flying a taildragger KR getting in a tri-gear KR is like getting in a
two-place Grumman.

KRnetHeads,
Just because there has to be one in every crowd, almost all of my landings
are 3 point. That's mainly because of my short strip, and I can't afford to
touch down 10 mph faster and burn up all that runway, even with my split
flaps. No, the KR can't do a full stall landing, but it r
I have a fairly stock KR2 with a Diehl fixed conventional gear, and will not
say that it is "impossible", just not "predictable". I have done it once,
but could never repeat it. Wheel landings feel more safe anyway. The stall

I helped Jim Morehead with his beautifully built tri-gear a few months
ago - did the first flight and several more over two days. My normal
steed is Ken Cottle's KR-1½ and my previous KR was also a taildragger - a
standard KR - so a
