Hi Charles,
Morphing a Dragonfly toward a KR2 is also what I have in mind.I haven't
decided on a header tank but I would have hollow wings with fuel-tanks in the
inboard leading edge. The LongEz and Cozy have fuel-tanks in the strakes and
use a different foam in that area which doesn't
My first KR had 12.5 gallon tanks per side plus a 12 gallon header. With
the Revmaster and Maloof CS prop I had 1200 SM range with reserves. I
remember filling all the tanks and taking off without problem - with just
me in it. It was the "standard" KR and was really only suitable for one
person
Hi Larry,
Do you have any photos of your tank?

My tanks are in the outboard wing panels only, 12.5 gallon in each
wing and no header tank.

Do you have any pictures of your tanks installed? I like the idea and think
others would like to see them too. Didn't see any on your webpage.
Thanks

It's not just about bladder as Mark pointed out in an earlier
post. He can now make cross country trips, out and back, without
refueling. I carry 4 hours of fuel (25 gal)

Hello All,
Just wanted to toss in my most recent experience and the value that I got out
of it. I know some of you guys out there (it feels like most of you) are
experienced mechanics, fiberglass repairmen or aviation engineers. For people
like me who are real estate guys it has been a big lea

Yes Paul. I believe my old 1970's plans has an alternative engine
installation print that has a drive pulley on the flywheel turning a slick
magneto. My brother-in-law put an alternator in place of the mag. This was
done in the rear tho.

Yes, why not put it on the market? Can it be calibrated? Do you have pics
and plans for it?
I don't need it, but every KR builder out there could use something simple
and in-expensive.

Craig, yes they have. Search the archives. Spin recovery with the extra
weight on the tips versus rudder effectiveness, aileron effectiveness in
lifting the tip at low airspeeds and fuel lift from the lower tank in an
unbalanced steep turn are two issues to think hard about. Also if you drop a
