So.... on the Crapbook KR page the subject of fuselage flexing came up as I
posted pictures of insulating the cockpit area from the firewall to the aft
spar with foam and using 3/32 ply to line the inside of the fuselage, my logic
was sound and temperature insulating. The "experts" stated that I am building
the fuselage too stiff and the fuselage has to flex and possiblity of tearing
apart in turbulence. I have seen other buildings doing the same, one with
fiberglass lined cockpit interior. Thoughts? I have looked and the only
information I can find is on very large aircraft, with high gross weights and
high wing loading, nothing on small aircraft fuselage flexing. How much does
the KR fuselage need to flex, if any?!?!?Thanks Christopher Stewart KR-1XL
