Bob, I had the same problem, easy fix, I used a wood chisel, cracked the glue
all around the rids and spars on both sides, snapped them out, then sanded the
skins and glassed a strip of cloth to the sanded area and started all over

I have some Diehl skins that someone started but I need to remove the spars and
ribs so I can start over. They were not done correctly and I wondering what the
best way to get the vinylester to release and to clean it all out.
All thoughts are appreciated.

Hi Russ,
I used Dan's skins on my KR2 some years ago and was fortunate in having
met Dan at a gathering. I think I was the first to use them in the UK ,and
had no problems except that the rib cut out markings didn't correspond
somehow .
I contacted Dan and he reassured me that my markings were no

It sounds like they use an additive that cuts down on the typical Sytrene"
smell that is common with VE and PE resins. The additive doesn't affect the
finished product any, it just cuts down on the smell. I used to have the trade

Everyone,
What are anyone's thoughts on the Diehl wing skins on a KR2S? I would assume
they use the original RAF48 airfoil rather than the new one correct? Pros or
cons? $1800 doesn't seem too bad to me. Does the additional wingspan take
away any on the cruise speeds?
Thanks

We have them and they are nice. They are very long and I don't know how that
will affect peformance, good or bad. They will cut your building time and
are easy to finish and are for the RAF48. I don't know if they fit the 2S,
but I am sure that someone will come forward with that information.

Hello all.
I disassembled the wings from one of my projects last weekend. I'm planning
to build new spars this weekend and found an issue where I'd appreciate some
help.
The Diehl instructions say it is permitted to use the existing spars if they
are already built. If they are not yet built,

I made the new spars for my Diehl skins, ( old ones warped) as per Dans
instructions, they are a bit heavier, but I'm told , much stronger. you must
be carefull with the shaping of the top of the spar to match the curve on
the skin, or it will show up when it is finished.
