Several photos of my setup at the bottom of http://myplace.frontier.com/~flesner/ . Mine is a bit heavy and probably over built on the support but the motor was free. Go with the RV actuator or something similar if possible. My board (very bottom of page) is a piece of 1/4" foam, glass covered hinged to the floor immediately behind the rear spar. I re-enforced the floor with a piece of 1/4" spruce and used maybe 5 each 3/16 bolts to attach the piano hinge to the fuselage. The hinge is floxed and glassed to the board. 0 to 90 degree deployment is possible. Board measures 9" X 30" and has a foam air ramp to cover the hinge on the bottom of fuselage. I use the board full down on every landing and would hate to do without it. It's my belief that many KR's have become hangar queens because of insufficient drag for landing and pilots never get comfortable in that part of the flight envelope. I certainly wouldn't enjoy flying the KR as much if I didn't have the drag for landing. Larry Flesner >
