Hey guys,
After thinking a little bit more I see that this can still be real confusing to
anyone reading any of this in the future. Here is what I propose

Having read through the archives researching the fuselage length for a KR2S it
would seem that the consensus is to add two inches in front of the front spar
and 14 inches behind the rear spar. Is this still the generally agreed way to
go?. Also if lengthening the fuselage in this fashion is t

Randy,
I am not sure that it is a consensus do that to the 2S plans. It
seems that is a wording that is being carried through from a time when
the first KR2 was stretched until the 2S plans came out with the
additional bay added. Then if I am not mistaken Mark Jones is the first
one that I
rt commings. I'll probably go with the 2",
but it might not work. I'm still trying to decide on what to do with the
back of the fuselage.

Hey Randy,
Your wanting leg room and everything as far as comfort have you
checked out Donald Reid's KR-2XL? Don Reid's KR-2XL I was looking at that for
payload but decided I could get away with just the S widened a bit.

This question is primarily to Mark but anyone please chime in. I am just
getting started on my 2S and am planning on lengthening the fuselage by 14
inches by adding one bay aft. My question is, i am 5ft 11in., should I add
anything forward of the front spar for leg room?

I'm about 5ft 10 (lost an inch after back surgery a few years ago
Thanks for the info Mark
I am definitely going with the corvair engine, with that in mind do you
think adding another bay aft of the rear spar is a good idea?

John,
be cautious, I added 28" behind the rear spar (2 bays) and even with the
O-235(208 lbs + accessories) up front I am concerned about ending up with a

spars) which adds to the rearward cg . the longer moment ar
Hi John
I have added 6" behind the firewall to bring the cofG further forward.
This has meant that I have also had to use a modified seat design to bring
it forward so I can reach the pedals (I'm only 5'8"). This is now a
mandatory PFA approved mod in the UK. I can let you have a scan of the
