For the record, the Roy Marsh KR2S wings measure 7’3” from hinge bolt hole to
tip, with almost full width aileron...9” shorter than the wing.
They are somewhat tapered, to my surprise. Tape shows 4’ wide at the hinge
plane, and 35” at the tips, which are upturned slightly at the trailing edge

As i have Roy Marsh's KR2S wings in my shed i can give you measurements if you

Hi Jeff,
Thank you for your answer. Yes, I know about the hump. I am willing to accept
that. A PSRU would hide it, but I do not want to consider that option unless
there is a significant benefit in performance, especially during the climb.

call the shipper to see how much.

Hi again everyone,
Please allow me another question:
Is there a magneto available that can just be installed in the default
