Hi guys, sitting down tonight to plan the layout of my fuselage. Now, I love
logic puzzles, and am pretty good at them, but this is ridiculous. I'm
hoping someone can take a minute and check to see that I have a full
inventory of plans here. I purchased plans KR-2 #9809/KR-2S #1196 in January
2005 from RR. Maybe I'm crazy, or just need to make up some dimensions, but
I cannot figure out some of these.
For instance, looking at the Horizontal Framing Layout on Dwg A for the 2S,
it only gives me the width locations of Stn's A, D, and G. It shows the max
width between F & G and straight from Stn I. Nowhere does it give me the
width of Stn O, or any other location that would allow me to figure the
correct dimensions. I looked through every page in my manual, and the best
it does is tell me to refer to the plans for all the correct dimension of
the layout???
Can anyone tell me if there is a dimension sheet for all the called out
parts on the drawings? Seems there should be a reference to say Station A -
O are xx inches in length, or there should be some key dimensions to allow
one to figure those out. At the very least, the plans should tell me how
wide the aft end of the longerons should be dimensioned - come on!
Another cause for concern with my plan set is I plan to build a tri-gear
version. Nowhere on any drawing is tri-gear addressed, and the manual deals
only with tail-gear details - no mention of tri-gear period! I'm sure the
situation is worse the farther from simply laying out the fuselage frame I
will get. Am I missing something here?
Here is an inventory of the plans I received with this set, if someone
notices something missing, please let me know so I can try to contact
Jeanette and get them, thanks:
KR-2 Drawings
Dwg 1 - Fuselage Assy.
Dwg 2 - Inboard / Outboard Wing Template, Flap Hardware &
Assembly
Firewall Template - Full Scale
KR-2S Drawings
Dwg A - Framing Layouts
Dwg B - Various Details
Firewall Template - Full Scale
W1 - Spar Details
W2 - Wing Details
W3 - Airfoils
Thanks to anyone that can help me. Maybe I shouldn't be so concerned with
every detail, but this seems like an awful lot of guessing.
