My KR2 is stretched 2 feet and uses the standard KR2 size tail feathers. The KR2S design increased the size of the tail surfaces ( I think, I'v e not seen the plans) and that should make the 14" stretch all you need. That will also help you keep your CG forward. I wish mine were a few inches wider but if you are going to use premolded components you have some limits there, especially with the canopy. You might look at reshaping the fuselage to make the widest part at the sholders. That would also hold the fuselage width to the trail edge of the wing and help with aerodynamics also.Other builders that have widened there fuselage can help you more in that area. Larry Flesner
