Guys, I just stumbled on something puzzling. Having disassembled my 
aileron bellcranks, I wanted to check on the drawings how much clearance 
there is between the aileron brackets and the wing skin. So, I tried to 
superimpose the actual parts on the Scale 1 drawing. And I realized that 
it simply does not work. The top bracket would actually go through the 
wing top skin. Both the top and the bottom bracket are in fact represented 
in the Scale 1 drawing slightly shorter than they really are, according to 
the construction manual.

Did I miss a point somewhere?

The guy who originally built my KR2 actualy made a fancy spacer / bracket 
whose only purpose was to bring the top bracket about 1/2" lower. I think 
it will be far easier to make the vertical part of the top bracket longer 
by the same amount. So, no big deal. Just redo the top brackets.

But how come I haven't heard of that problem before?
