Does any one have an affordable set of WAFs they are willing to part with,
before I start the task of making them my self?

I looked at the AS5046 drawing earlier this morning, and it didn't have spar
dimensions, so I assumed the AS5048 didn't either. They do. They are both

I have to agree with Don Reid if I understand this thread correctly.
My take on it is that the original design has 4 bolts per attach point for a
total of 8 per wing side. If this is the way yall (sorry) are doing it, I
will YELL hold on! I have been doing the wing attach thing with 4 bolts
total
Netters,
I should start rebuilding my KR2 tomorrow. One of the tasks is to put the
WAFs back in place, with new bolts and locknuts.
Questions:
1 - How much torque must I apply to the nuts for front and rear WAFs?
2 - Can I put some sort of lubricant on the bolts to help them slip in the
holes
Serge
Tighten the bolts only to the point before squashing the wood.
I put Epoxy in the bolt holes, then inserted & tighten the bolts.

Designing an airplane is a lot like designing a chain, but more
repetitive. The goal is to have ALL of the parts equally strong. What
is there about the WAFs that suggests they are a weak link?

So I was thinking of drilling all the WAF holes and coating the surface with
aeropoxy, also the bolts (not the threads) and assembling while uncured. This
would cement the WAF to the spar.
Is there anything wrong with this method?

I'll bet it would just pop right off. Putting on the WAF before the resin
cures will insure a smooth even fit. However, I am sure that your results will
vary.

Can anybody tell me what I should paint or treat the WAFs on my KR2s with?
Also (the plans are so faded I can hardly read them!) What thickness ply is the
outboard rib, the one before the extension begins.
Thanks

You asked:"What thickness ply is the outboard rib, the one before

I presume you mean the rib that straddles the wing
attach fitting on the center spars.The answer is
3/32 of an inch. (Hope you still remember "inches"!)
As far as the painting of the
e Channel that only use metric eh Serge?

To Peter Drake.
O.K. Peter, lets try this:
If you stand at the tip of the wing, looking towards the fuselage, the
first rib you see is a 3/8 wooden rib.
That one is 36 inches long.Let us label that one "A"
The next rib you will see is made out of 2 inch foam (B)
The next rib (C) is also made o
hown on the old KR2 plans.
Thank you

Some of you may remember that I realized my WAFs had been done with all
the lightening holes the same diameter.
Well, I started recutting these holes as per plans, using a stepcutter.
The benefit is no less than 12 grams per WAF, which gives me no less than
196 g for the whole aircraft (6.9 oz)
If you haven't bolted your WAFS on the rear spar, make sure you install
the bolts head forward. If you don't, if one day you need to remove the
WAFS, the bolts on the upper WAF will be impossible to remove. The wing
skin will be on the way.
And don't ask me how I know this.

Paris,
I have one set of RR wing attach fittings for sale for a 2S. I understand
that they are the same as for a 2 except for the four small aft outboard
fittings because the spar is not bent back. I may be wrong on this, but I
am pretty sure that is correct. If you do need to change the few different
