Hello KRnet,
I am now pleased to report that the new fuselage sides on my KR2S are complete.

longerons cracked when I bent the fuselage to shape. I worked through the

Are the longerons already glued to the skins? If so, why not just reinforce
the sections in question with 2 or 3 layers of 6 oz fiberglass, wrapping the
glass fibers over the section at a 45 degree angle and onto the skin about an
inch. Cover the longeron in this manner about 6? on each side o

can try any repairs.

Larry, just thinking out loud on your wing drop.
Are you applying back pressure and raising the nose any during the slip? A
combination of slip and nose high pitch can produce a momentary loss of
rudder authority. Though not a prevalent event, it can occur. A good way
to determine if this is

I never experienced what you described, but I did always have problems coming
out of a slip smoothly. It slipped good, but if you just neutralized the
controls the plane would do a few weird gyrations before it stabilized again.
This was unlike something like a Citabria where you could slip it
