I said I would post a reply from the builder of my 44 inch fuselage. I bought. Brian sold the KR2ss fuse to build an RV. ----------- Hi Phil,
I was talking to Ron Slender recently and he mentioned that you were working on the KR. You may have noticed that I made both top and bottom longerons a little larger than the standard size and I bent them slowly over a period of a few days. I made sure that they were very wet while bending them, I think I used hot water initially, and before any further bending I again made sure it was as wet as I could get it and gradually increased the bend. It didn't take all that long. I had a spray bottle which I would use to spray heaps of water onto the timber. I hear you have a few hours up now on the VW engine and that it is running quite well. The RV is going along slowly due to conflicting interests and activities but I plan to start on it again very soon. The wings are the next stage to be built. All the best for the New Year.
