Gary,
Yes, that conclusion matches what I just posted.
(5 inches forward of the spar should work with either engine, and no spacers)
Plans length , plus 14 inches , aft of the spar.
Width, your choice , but wider by a few inches than stock will be a welcome
improvement you won't regret.

My KR2S is the same as Robert 's ( which is the 2S plans , standard extension ,
3 inches in front of the spar and 14 aft) and it balances perfectly with a
2180VW GP with a 2 inch spacer on the standard engine mount. If I did it again
I would add 2 more inches in front of the spar for more leg ro

Thanks for all of the input to my question regarding KR2S modifications. I am,
however, a little confused (doesn't take much) about adding length to the KR2S
plans fuselage and could use help with some clarity.

Gary,
the KR2S already has an extra 2" added in the cowl area. No need to add
more.

Gary,
The description Larry gave of modifications is exactly the way my KR2S is
built. Two inches forward of spar. Widened at the shoulders. Increased head
If tricycle gear is what you know then I would go with it.

I would also go with longer then the Diehl 24 inch gear legs. Mine are 30
inch ( https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/32133949/002.jpg ) but 28 inch
would probably work well on a stock KR2S. You'll have to make

Hey Gary,
This going to be advise from someone that can say I am doing it this way on
their second build which I am in the middle of. In addition
I would also go with longer then the Diehl 24 inch gear legs. Mine
are 30 inch ( https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/32133949/002.jpg )
but 28 inch would probably work well on a stock KR2S. You'll have to
make your own as the 30 inch legs are probably not available for
purchase. Jeff Scott

My boat is 24 inches longer than a standard KR2.
I have been hanging upside down by the seatbelt in a KR with the header
tank on fire. All the fuel in the wings is wise advice.
