I took Tony Bengalis advice as suggested in his Aircraft Construction
book. I built in jacking hard points bolted to the inner WAF of the
stub wing.
The hard point is a permanent part of the stub wing and faired smooth
with the lower wing surface. Each hard point has a 10-32 stop nut

My KR-2 has 6061 aluminum flanges for the flap bellcranks. I found them in the
local True Value Hardware store.
I drilled a 3/16-inch hole through the flange and ¾-inch aluminum tube to bolt
them in place.

The flanges were intended to be the base plate for a hand rail

In a previous post I complained about clogging silicon-carbide sandpaper
with latex paint. KRnet advice was to wet sand.
I used a recycled Windex spray bottle to mist on the water and
hand-sanded away with 1000 grit. Works great! Wiped off the milky
residue with a paper shop towel. I used one

My turtle deck is a RR factory made part. I added a roll bar made from ¼ inch

The TD is removable and attached with 10-32 ss screws. Nut plates are attached

Replies to my earlier post indicated that Latex paint would either work fine,
not hold up, crack from vibration, could/could not be polished shiny or would
gum up trying to sand.
I found some good news on sanding. I know; sanding and good news don't really
go together in the same sentence.

to raise the stick forces, mainly the elevator, to make it less prone to
PIO. Also, something like a exponential command would also work.
1. You could balance the elevator. The extra mass may slow down jerking
around for PIO. Helps with flutter control also.

I have built my Spars exactly as called out in the KR-2 plans using RR

I am betting my life that the WAFs as installed will function long and well.
I am trying to determine exactly how the WAFs function in relationship to the

The usual cause of small bubbles in the epoxy is rapid stirring the resin and
