And why are you Luddites with the tender egos still re-posting
everything.  Weren't Mark's instructions clear enough?

I swear, ten year olds do better.

Oh calm down.  Taking offense at a tongue in cheek proclamation doesn't
say much for your security level.

I haven't seen any mention of it, so I'll mention it:  For those of us
who live near alot of water, retracts are best for a water landing, or
perhaps landing on frozen cornfields (john S. did that), probably for a
muddy field too.

I probably hand out as much ribbing about airplane training wheels and such as 
anyone, and 8 of the 9 planes I have owned so far have been tail draggers; 
However I have to agree with Joe here.  If a guy want's a nose gear on his 
plane cause that's what he's comfortable with, then by all means, he should 
build it that way.  

The previous critical statements this morning remind me of the guys at the fly 
ins that have never built anything but always make a point to come criticize 
every little paint chip on the plane you have there to show.  There are always 
a couple of them in every crowd.

Oh, and to have been more thorough in looking at both sides, the taildragger 
is always trying to run off the runway (in a minor way) as opposed to being 
naturally more directionally stable on the ground, but that's never bothered 
me (yet).  Another angle is that if the nose gear breaks you will have a 
prop strike for sure, but you could also say that taildraggers can have a 
prop strike with a smooth landing on a great runway, IF you nose it over too 
far, so that one's a wash.  I'm sure there are more considerations that I've 
overlooked at the moment, but there are several thousand posts on this in 
the archive (see the bottom of every message for the link to the 
archives)...

KR> KR2 for sale

[air...@comcast.net]

I have to agree with Joe, it is an opinion.  I think the taildragger looks a 
little "old timey", and is so low to the ground that it looks small...not 
confidence inspiring to those who are afraid of flying (not that I care). 
The tri-gear looks like a more substantial airplane because it's up off the 
ground further, and looks more like a "real" airplane.  There is a real 
speed penalty, and it looks to me like about 10 mph at top speed.  Other 
advantages of taildraggers are slightly lower weight, less cost, and the 
ability to handle rough fields better, but aethetically, I think it's purely 
in the eye of the beholder.  I think they both LOOK good, but that's just MY 
opinion...

Looks, Speed, money, and adding something else that can break your plane.
The KR has to be the easiest conventional gear airplane that there is to fly
  It is so easy that even I can do it.

Why give up performance and looks just for some temporary ease of ground
handling?  You'll soon get used to the conventional gear and it will seem
just as natural to you as the tri-gear does to the tricycle guys.
Pushing a draggy old strut around everywhere you go just doesn't seem
natural.

Well, it isn't the cover of the Rolling Stone, but I am sure it is the
closest that I will ever get.  For a few biased pics of the 2008 KRGathering
and the article that made the cover of the Chapter Newsletter, go to

Thanks to Larry, the airport staff, and the weather for making this the best
Gathering that I have ever been to.
