keith what you read is correct. You get a full web on the rear face of the
forward spar and a full web on the forward face of the rear spar (outer wings).
You also get a web on the front face of the front spar for the first 12" only.
and you get a web on the back of the rear spar for 12" only. You don't need
that extra web it only adds weight

Subject: KR>new KR builder - spar question
Hello,
Ok, so I've wanted to build a KR-1 since October, 1974 (yes, I still have the
magazine) and I just now got around to ordering the plans. They have arrived
and I am carefully reading the assembly instructions, trying to visualize this
project.
Step 4.2.10 includes this note: "the front spars have web full length only on
the aft face. The aft spars have web full length only on the forward face."
Huh? The accompanying drawings make no indication of this, and, if indeed
this is the case, where does the web stop? Do other builders do this? Or, is
this, like Monnett's "weight saving" spar holes in the Sonerii, advice best
ignored? Should the web be full length of the spar on both faces?
Thanks in advance. I'm sure I will have many more questions in the comming
months and years.
