There is a powered sailplane version of the KR-1, I believe. If I can find the link, I'll send it along to you as the builder did a really GREAT job of building it with folding wings. Meanwhile, since most of the posts here do anything EXCEPT religiously following the plans, there is no reason why you can't extend the wings. Just don't go overboard as a longer wing changes your wing loading and the stresses on your wing spars. I'm building a KR-1 and am extending the wings a couple of feet either directly or through winglettes (still undecided which way I want to go: Mainly a transport question). I have also widened the fuselage 4 inches. These are the two major planned modifications I'm making. There will probably be others as I progress with the bird. You can contact me direct if you want at: gle...@tritel.net.
