KR> Engine Failure on Take OFF.

[Dan Heath]

Brian,  I am sure that you can if you want to.  However, I will bet that you
will spend more money and time than you would by putting on a Diehl gear.
And if you did make the mods, when would you have enough confidence in it?
Also, if your gear fails, how much money and time will you lose?

I believe this has been tried several times before, but I don't remember
seeing any at the KR Gathering.

See N64KR at http://KRBuilder.org - Then click on the pics 
See you at the 2011 - KR Gathering in Mt. Vernon, Il - MVN
There is a time for building and it never seems to end.

Well, it can happen to you.

Last night 1730 at 500 ft Engine stopped dead. Lack of landing spots. Had to
make 150' turn to safe ground.

Check, tanks pumps NO start, but engine wind milling. A bit hot and ran out
of field, had to lift over fence, then channel, stall, O S*#T - ground.
Bugger.

Walked away. KR home in my workshop.

Damage,
Prop, nose wheel collapse, L main collapse. Under inner wing whole from
wheel. But main leg undamaged, the main bolts Sheared OFF, as did the nose
wheel to fire wall bolts. NO cowl damage only paint. Engine mount bent.  

FOUND the cause this morning, the coil lead came out of the distributor Cap.
No wonder it would not start.
Did I seem Mark Jones make a cover or his dist. cap, Should listen to Mark.

Glad to hear you are ok Phil.

Not good about your plane. Back to the workshop I guess.

Hopefully you didn't have too much explaining or paperwork to do for CASA.
