I can't imagine a fixed gear airplane being easier to land than my KR with a 24 inch stretch and 8 foot spread on the main gear. I forget I'm flying a tail dragger. I have never needed brakes for directional control on takeoff or landing in 340 hours of flight time and never come close to a ground loop. It may get me some day but my KR is a pussy cat on the ground. Larry Flesner
