Whether you build a KR with retracts or fixed be very up front in providing
your insurance agent with the exact engine type in your KR. The companies
insuring have recently tightened the reins on extending coverage based on
the type of engine mounted to the front.
The last info I had on this,
Seems like all of us build the KR because of it's speed on moderate HP!! I'm
starting a project soon on a KR2S and I am wondering about retractable
verses fixed gear?? What are the speed penalties for the fixed? I'm
planning on a tricycle cart at the moment.

NO speed penalties for a "well faired" fixed gear with tailwheel and
not enough of a penalty with a nose wheel to keep you from
building what you
So far this discussion hasn't mentioned insurance. If you are not
tailwheel endorsed, you're going to have to spend some money to get that
way, and then may have trouble getting hull insurance at all until you have
something like 50 hours of tailtragger time.
And there's no question that the tri
