Joe I don't know about the landing lights, but I would take a piece of metal conduit and shape one end like teeth on a saw and slowly twist it into the wing from one end to the other cutting the foam ect. as you go. Then when you pull it back out pull your wire with it. Mike Turner Edgewood Ne

Greetings all, Recently came to ownership of an 80% complete(ie.wings completed and primered but ailerons and flaps not yet attached) KR2. Problem is, there were no accommodations made for position, landing, strobe lights, etc. in the wings. How can I add lighting without major body work?

Good`Ay Phil, Better still to calculate HP you have to burn around 27 litres per hour to make 100 hp. US gallon = 3.78541178 litres Therefore adopt 3.7854 7 gall per hour = 26.4978 litres / 27 X 100 = 98.14 HP OK 3.8 gallons per hr = 14.38452 litres / 27 X 100 = 53.276 HP So if y
