> "The Diehl wing skins are a sandwich with inner and outer layers of 2 BID on a foam core. I have talked with other builders that have used the Diehl skins and not used the spar extensions; they just use the rather stiff skin as a monocoque stressed skin. The Diehl skins extend the horizontal stabilizer and elevator span 3-inches each side for an increase of 6 inches more than the KR-2 plans."
Thanks for posting that info on the Diehl tailfeathers & skins. I never knew the stabilizer had three inches extra. Nor do I know what BID is . . . but I can Google fu and find out. Whatever it is it sure holds up well. They literally still look like new after thirty years, tops and bottoms. Whatever BID is, it's good stuff.
