Good morning
Thank you for the great advice! I am truly grateful for the advice and
the effort many have put into their build logs and websites. I am a little
bit of an analytical thinker so please excuse the plethora of questions I
have at times.
I am not a fan of fuel in the cockpit so not that you have broadened by
my understanding; I will re-analyse the stub tank ideas and looking to add
wing tanks too but smaller all of this with constant cognisense of the CG.
The wing tanks are also a decent idea I will be exploring to greater
detail! Maybe header wing stub tanks for each wing tank? Lots to think
amount about and sketch before I put any tool in hand!
I am going to be using a 2187cc turbo VW and the engine mounts came
already installed and from what I have seen & read they appear pretty
standard so may need to investigate moving the VW forward as suggested.
There is second set of engine mounts in the box of parts that came with the
KR-2 so I guess I'll be digging it out and having a look it today :)
Back to the actual work of designing and finishing my seats. Thanx Mark for
your page on your seats! - solved my base which I am busy doing ... nextto
find a decent ergonomic back design :)
Blessed Christmas to you all!
Regards
