Hi there, I know this question has been asked already, but I'm still uncertain about this... Basically, I have three questions:
Question 1 I have a set of KR2-S plans, which as we know has an extra bay added to the KR2 plans (ie lengthened by 14" aft of the cabin). Based on best practice as evolved here on KRNet, by how much (in addition to this) should I lengthen each bay aft of the cabin? And do I lengthen the bays forward of the firewall? Question 2 If I widen the cabin to 40", this will effectively reduce the area of the wings, since the cockpit is now encroaching on the wing root by a few inches on each side. Do I lengthen the spars/wings by the same amount to compensate for this encroachment? Finally, question 3 If I widen the cockpit to (say) 40" at the top, by how much should I widen the bottom of the cockpit? By an equal amount? And a supplementary question... Is there any fundamental or aesthetic reason why the cockpit should be wider at the top than at the bottom? Could the sides not be perpendicular? Kind regards Duncan of Devonport KR2-S #9792, #1184 Auckland, New Zealand
