I am in the process of doing the sums for spars with the dihedral at the root. I don't have the means to build and then move a complete aircraft to the airfield. So the WAF's will have to stay. There is a KR2 in Temora with retracts, I believe it is very reliable and fast. I could probably get details if you desire. My own KR2S may yet have retracts, similar to those in Ron Easson's aircraft, but will need proving before I let someone else hurt themselves on my (unprove) ideas.

Thoughts on retracts. Has anyone considered going with a built up strip spar like is used in a corby starlet over the standard kr style spar? Im looking into ways to make the dihedral start at the fuselage instead of at the an of the stub wings and this seems like the easiest way. I know darren crompton did this with his stub wings but I was thinking about getting rid of the stub wings altogether. Im also trying to figure out a way to mount retracts. I know everyone here is pretty much against them but if im gonna build my own aircraft why settle. Im thinking getting rid of the stub wings would create quite a bit more space to work with for hiding the gear. Blessed is the lord my strength which teaches my hands to war and my fingers to fight. _______________________________________ Search the KRnet Archives at http://tugantek.com/archmailv2-kr/search.
