Hello all. I disassembled the wings from one of my projects last weekend. I'm planning to build new spars this weekend and found an issue where I'd appreciate some help.
The Diehl instructions say it is permitted to use the existing spars if they are already built. If they are not yet built, there are some modifications provided. The most significant (to me) is the width of the spar cap (as viewed from the top.) The stock outboard main spars measure 1 15/16" at the root and 1" at the tip. Quoted from KR2 plans book#65 serial #7097 The modifications call for 1 15/16" from the root all the way to the tip. Quote from the wing skin instructions: "This is stronger because of the increased contact area between the spar and the wing skin." Did this concern anyone else who used Diehl wing skins?
