My new fuse is 44 inches. But I did not bent the longerons, I sent Mark's
email to the Aussie that bent them, and I will send on his reply if and when
he replies. OK

I have an option on a Bing carby off a 6 cylinder Jabiru.
With proper jetting, do you think this would work well on an O-200 (as the
engine is similar in size)?

Dan,
As you consider when and if to install that Corvair, plan also on
adding fuel capacity
The one thing that is important to remember is that the published rear cg is
about 2 inches unusable. I have the corvair tucked back against the firewall
and wing tanks and a header tank. With full load and the fuel gone from the
wings and getting low in the header tank my 2S starts to take on
I can load mine to 1200 # without exceeding the max aft, which I have set at
2" aft of center.

And click on Final Spread sheet, in the space for the first thumbnail.
There is also a link to several that were supplied by other builders. J
After ready this thread about moving the firewall to get more room, it leads
me to think there is concern about the CG moving too far forward. This
confuses me because I have gotten a couple of EXCEL type weight and balance
programs off the KR Net and every one I have tried to plug numbers i
KR1 is a different bird... Build the KR2-S according to the "S" plans
and you'll be OK.
Are you having an electrical system ? There's a chunk of lead you can
move about if you have CG problems, but I doubt it would require the
battery in the empennage.

Very few, if any. Now after I put the Vair on my KR2, there may be one with
lead in the tail, but we don't know that yet.
I don't see how you can extrapolate anything that you think you might know
about the KR1, to the KR2S? I don't think your conclusion is wrong, I
just don't see the correl
Thanks to everyone who answered re widening fuselage.I think we can sort it
out from here.
And I gather KR1 was a bit tail heavy so if we move the firewall ahead a
couple inches on our KR2S we will be within limits; and if we widden a
couple inches we will be in familiar company.

That would alleviate about a third of the extra stress, since the firewall
is about 29" aft of the spinner backplate, and the trailing edge o
If you want to widen the fuse, why not just make the firewall proportionally
larger, and extend the length proportionally longer? You are going to have
more frontal area anyway and will need room on the firewall for a larger
engine. I would think that, that would take care of the bending issues.
OK, here's revision two. I usually try to cover all the angles when I reply
to something, and I just glossed over the wood bending issue. I said it's
"problematic". I should have said "you'll almost certainly break the
longerons when you ask them to make a very sharp bend like 6-8" without
