Ron Whilst I have no problem with the original design of the WAFS used in both the KR2 and KR2S. The PFA (our EAA) have stipulated a mandatory modified WAF arrangement for the KR2s which I mentioned on the net a couple of months back which has doubled 16g heat treated s515 plates as well as exrta AN4 bolts through ally bushes thro the spars (I can send you a drawing if you like). Thier justification for it is that the increased stresses induced by the increased dimensions of the KR2S push the KR2 WAF design too close to the limit. I am inclined to say "if it aint broke why fix it?", but this is what we have to put up with over here. Peter Drake Hereford UK
