. Are stability issues limited to the KR and not the slightly larger KR2S? If I have the Diehl wing skins and use those, what should I expect in the future? >Ray >++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++]
I think Mark L. covered the subject pretty well. My KR is stretched 24 inches but all wing and tail surfaces are basiclly "per plans" including the 3 1/2 degree incidence on the main wing and my horizontal stab is set as close to "zero" as I could get it. The 2s is not quite as long but the bigger tail surfaces should bring things closer to equal. If your rear spar is not set yet, you might consider reducing the wing incidence by a degree or so. Other than that, build it as true as possible, keep the CG in the right place, and go have a ball when finished. There is nothing about going your way on construction that should cause you any concerns. 136 hours and still grinnin'........................ P.S. I have some 500X5 wheels coming to replace my 600X6's and hope to get wheel covers soon. I'll keep you posted on any speed increase with the smaller wheels. I also have some 138" X 6" vinyl stripe design on order, and hope to get the wings repainted soon. It may not be long before I have a finished KR !! Hummmmm, let's see, the new wing for more speed and maybe................................. Larry Flesner
