Hi Larry,
I am not scared of a taildragger, but I think it has both it's advantages as
well as disadvantages. So many newer builders are going for the nose-wheel
version lately. That's why I am asking for opinions. I saw a video of Mark
nearly standing up in the cockpit to see where he was taxy
Hi Daniel,
Yes, I tried my best to finish that KR2 with a Rotax 582 engine. Was so much
looking forward to the end results. Unfortunately life came in the way & I was
forced to sell it.
This time round I purchased a KR2 project that is around 80% finished and I am
not going to modify again fo
I am at the stage where I must make a decision - for the fixed gear
versions, if you had to do it over:
1. Would you build a taildragger or a nose dragger?

Hennie,
My first thought is that if you have any doubt, go with a nose
wheel.
Hennie,
I am curious about the previous plane you were building. It seems that it
was a long time ago and I had thought that you had finished it.
To answer your questions. Yes, on the KR, I do believe that the nose wheel
induces significant drag (opinion without fact), and No, I would NEV
My KR has both split flaps on the stub wings and an electric actuated
belly board. I always deploy them both as they turn the slippery KR into
a much easier aircraft to control in the approach and they certainly
reduce the, "fly me to the other end of the runway without wanting to
touch down fe
Hi again everyone,
I am at the stage where I must make a decision - for the fixed gear versions,
if you had to do it over:
1. Would you build a taildragger or a nose dragger?
2. Does the nosewheel cause any severe loss in maximum speed?
Kind regards,
Hennie

Thank you everyone,
I was not going to build normal flaps - too much work. Only inner wing split
flaps right up to the rear spar. But if the belly brake does the same function,
I won't bother with the flaps. Belly break much, much easier to make.
Kind regards,
Hennie
