My boat is 24 inches longer than a standard KR2. Nothing added forward of the spar and I have standard KR2 tail surfaces. Starting over I'd go with the standard KR2S length and the 2S increased tail surfaces, and the two inches forward of the spar. Also the wider fuselage at the shoulders. That would be very much like the 2S that Langford built and I think he would agree it was a great flyer. As for a header tank, I went wing tanks only in the out wing sections. That's a personal call. I read a crash report years ago about a KR1 that had a hard landing, the firewall broke away and the ruptured tank dumped it's contents on the pilot. Why it never caught fire is a mystery. My two major concerns when building were fire and roll over. I put all my fuel in the outer wings and built a fixed windshield with windshield and turtle deck bow with gullwing door and breakaway section on the passenger side. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/32133949/100_5561.JPG Your concerns and comfort level may be different so build to suit yourself.
