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. See N64KR at http://KRBuilder.org - Then click on the pics See you at the 2008 - KR Gathering in Mt. Vernon

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
