KR> Tri-gear main wheel location
Thansk Sid. I got the same legs, but thinking of leaving the same thickness but using the full length of the Grumman blanks for prop clearance on my tail wheel. Just waiting on some cast brackets from Steve so I can finished them off. Do think the Grumman leg thickness would be too much? Mark L commented on leaving them as is as they are longer, Any finished and flying these legs care to comment?? Phil Matheson. Australia -- Update on moving the main wheels on my KR-2: Removed the main gear fiberglass struts. These are supposed to be used for a tail dragger version. Obtained Scotch ply Grumman Cougar blanks from Fletch Air. ___ Search the KRnet Archives at http://tugantek.com/archmailv2-kr/search.

I've been thinking on this as well. I suppose one could leave them the full inch thick but make them narrower (i.e. not as wide) if they were too stiff. Leaving them longer (which I also plan to do) will offset some of the stiffness, and additional stiffness will probably be a good thing given the higher gross weight KRs seem to be built to these days (mine will be 600kg/1320 lbs). I don't know enough about the engineering of springs to make an informed decision here, so the experience of others will be welcome.

KR> Selling out
Guys, with the recent changes in my life I am dropping my asking price to $3,500.00 for BOTH of my KR projects. Both are in the boat stage, one single the other double seat. Tails on both are complete. All spars are done and the wings for the single are about 50% done. Header tank for the single is done. Too much to list. If interested in making an offer please contact me off list for Pics. Bob Boyd Frazeysburg Ohio iflyexp at gmail.com

Our planes are heavier these days anyway, so some extra thickness is not a bad thing. Mark Langford ML at N56ML.com http://www.n56ml.com

I have installed the Grumman legs on my KR2-S. I kept them the original length and thickness but trimmed them down in width. Minor deflection as the plane sets now. Fuselage, tail, controls and motor mount (weighs 198 lbs). I have also used the fiberglass leg for the front gear. With me in the aircraft (250) gross so far at 448 lbs the gear deflect about 5/8". I expect a total of 1" deflection as engine, wings, fit out and fuel are added and dispersed across the 3 legs. -- next part -- I can send more detail and measurements if your interested.
