Guess I over did it on the ailerons then. My KR2S has the long wings ( 25.5 ft) and an extra foot of aileron on each outboard panel ( 84 inches) . I purposely made them longer after reading that the Diehl length wings needed more aileron in several articles ( Kitplanes etc.) .
Mine are effective but not overly so . They seem about right given the extra wing length . Guess I will never know what it would have been like with the stock aileron length . Still takes a hefty throw to "rock the wings" on climb out . Cheers Chris Gardiner [email protected] wrote: >Hi Guys, Steve Makish here.
