Just to add to the confusion, I have been told that the KR2 is
"aerodynamically incorrect". The wider part of the fuselage should not be
at the firewall, but rather somewhere around the wing trailing edge.

The bending will not be a problem but I think that the firewall
should be wider. I have an O-200 on mine and I had to add two inches
to make the curve of the fuselage right.
