I purchased a semi completed KR2S without any plans. In order to register it, I

Disdurbing the airfoil profile is not the same as dulling the surface. We are
not talking about the same effect here. Bet you if he only dulled his Q wing,

Hi all,
Just my 2 cents on this subject. There's a lot of info on the net on this so
I'll not even try to elaborate.
Air over air causes a lot less friction than air over metal, fiber glass or
whatever. Therefore a very slight rough surface on i.e. a wing (pinholes) will
produce less friction
Hi Don,
One thing to consider and I've read a lot of stuff off the net on this:
Adding fowler flaps or any other stall reducing device on a KR will also
require a bigger elevator to keep the aircraft trimmed level under these
different situations.
Just something to keep in mind.
