I never bought that part in the book and I can tell you from experience that it is not impossible in a KR, not by a long shot.

Specifically, the section in that chapter called "Wheel" Landings (page 305). I learned that the aerodynamic forces when planting the wheels on the runway make it impossible to hit the prop through using too much forward stick, something I had been worried about until then with my 56-inch Maloof CS prop and short retractable gear legs. I'm not sure if it's impossible or not, but I took Langewiesche's word for it and I've never worried about excessive forward stick from then on. This wonderful old book is well worth a read (or re-read) for anyone contemplating a first flight.
