The KRs really need SPOILERS.. They are much better than flaps and a lot easier to build/install. Close a spoiler and you are instantly flying again. Dump a flap and you sink first and then get to climb again. Personally, I love spoilers!

Also wondering about the Belly Brake option. This design is slippery, I'd love to have another choice manage the energy on approach besides a forward slip or slowing down way back at the start of downwind. I'd rather have the energy the whole time, and be able to brake on final. From: danrh at windstream.net To: chrisprata at live.com; krnet at list.krnet.org Subject: RE: KR> TriGear?

I have never heard of a broken tail wheel causing a serious accident, but certainly have heard of several where the nose wheel broke.? A fixed gear KR1 would be a very simple machine to fly, especially if you could add flaps. See N64KR at http://KRBuilder.org - Then click on the pics? 2015 KR Gathering - McMinnville, OR.?
