2008-11-16 Thread Todd Currier
I feel kind of silly asking this seeing as how the KR-2S is a well proven design and all, however; I read on another site (can't remember where) that he was a little unsure of the torsional strength of the KR-2S wing due to the skin only being glued to the spars.

Hello folks, new to the list here. Wanted to say hi to everyone and throw out an idea or two I've been thinking about. I'm still in the stage where I'm figuring out where and how everything will fit in my design but it is coming together nicely. Structural considerations will come next. My design
