Dan, Putting the gear at the WAF's also concerned me some untill I saw how the gear on N250KB was mounted. It flew for long like that without suffering any side effects of having the gear mounted there and it was only attached to the front spar. I am also using the 18% airfoil at the root so the spar is theoretically a bit stronger than stock as well. I suppose we will see when it gets into the air some day. by the way, for those who thought I was building a gear that folded back like the original KR retracts, I am building a gear that folds inwards towards the fuz and completely retracts into the wing which closes up behind (under) it. Absolutely nothing dragging out there in the wind at all so no fairings necessary at all.
