Luis,
Sounds like you have just recruited one more genius in the KR Gang of
Texas! This makes it a perfect "KR Party of Texans" at the time of your
first KR2 take-off celebration, if that day will ever arrive soon?!
Cheers and Happy Thanksgiving holiday to you all!

Thanks for the response Myron to my request for retract parts. The KRnet
truly is amazing. I am waiting on pictures from another builder. I am not
sure what he has. Maybe between the two of you I can acquire all the parts
I need. May we speak directly or on my email so I may work out details with

Hi.
I believe I have all the retractable landing casting that you will need.

I have a complete retract gear system for a KR 1 or 2 to include wheels and
cable brakes. All mounted 30 years ago. If you're interested contact me @
dprich01 at comcast.net for pics and details. Also have an A-65 with motor
mount for KR2

Thanks to all those who sent me pics of the early retract systems . It
really put my crappy dialup connection to the test!
Looking at those planes makes one realise just how much the KR has evolved
over the years.
Thanks again guys.

Guys,
The one project I have here has a retract handle that folds up. You
have leverage to retract the gear, but there is very little leverage
to extend the gear. For those of you who have flown the retract
version, how much torque does it take to snap the gear
downBobby
Very little, if the handle moves freely while on the ground, that is the
same as you will need in the air.

Bobby,
That might be a big mistake. Save your KR and put a fixed gear on it. I
had to crash my first one 3 times before I finally got wise and put on a
fixed. Never crashed it again. The crashes were caused by gear collapse.

It is not a matter of cost because I have already bought the new gear. I

Hi Bobby.
Another factor to consider when deciding to modify or not is that the KR
with retracts is not a soft or rough field aircraft for several reasons.
The aircraft is too close to the ground, and the retracts were too springy.
My gear uplock per plans shook so hard and violently during my
I am going to say what most KR builders already know. The only real solution
to problems, note I said problems, with the retract gear, is to replace it
with a fixed gear. I went through 3 failures of the retract before putting
on a fixed, on my first KR. If you are not having problems, then, don't
