Both of those problems can be solved with a slight increase in wing area and aspect ratio. Jim

We are mostly into KR-2 and KR-2S right now but there are other KR airplanes, recall the KR-1 and the KR-3 which were very different than the KR-2 and if Ken were alive today you can bet there would be a KRLSA design. I don't think you are off subject. Jim

It would be easy to build a LSA modified KR-2 butI wouldn't call it a KR-2, I would give it a new name, but you could use the same construction techniques, its more fun to work with the spruce than a 601 because of the smell of the wood when it is cut. NASA developed some Low Speed airfoils about t

I would take a good look to see if I could remove only part of the RAF-48 and glove the new airfoil shape over the old one even if I had to increase the thickness of the new airfoil. Sincerely James C. Ferris

The GAW-1 airfoil is a modified Supercritical airfoil and started out as the 17% supercritical airfoil that we tested on the Navy trainer T2C and was the first supercritical airfoil to be demonstrated in flight, it has a flat pressure distribution on the upper surface that allowed laminar flow bac

If you are still building the same kr2 wing planform you can still use the WAFs but you need to raise the rear spar about 1 inch to reduce the incidence at the fuselage.

Actually I made a gross error in my last transmission. I wrote that the drag coefficient for the RAF48 was 50 counts when it is really 60 counts compared to the 40 counts of the AS5048, a 40% reduction which is fantastic, I got to thinking of what I had written and I could not think of any turbule
