KR> Stub Wings - Plywood Skin

2010-10-11 Thread Patrick and Robin Russo
It is very much an option tho I do not know if others have done any more than consider it. We have to realize that it is more than a skin change. It will require different and more ribs. It does not lend itself to sculpting has we do on the Rand wings and of course we have to consider the incre

I can only speak from having flown my first KR, no flaps or brake, and having been around the KR crowd for over 20 years. If I were to add a device for that purpose, it would be the brake. The KR has all the lift it needs when it get's into ground effect (let's not go there again, please). Flaps ge
