>The KR-2 is too short for a tail wheel. Maybe the 2-S is OK once you're used to it but the shorter "2" is no fun at all with a tail wheel.<
All I can say to this is HORSE HOCKEY! I have a straight short body 2 with fixed conventional gear and love the way it handles on the ground and in the air. If you give it any thought you will figure out that the regular 2 with the diehl gear will sit at a higher angle of attack than the longer tail 2S. Some of ya'll need to find a better tailwheel instructor! Rick Human N202RH Houston, Tx
