Don I am using Dan Diehl skins on my KR-2S. I will be adding a foam extension to the spars. Originally, the spar was full length but later determined to by un-necessary. The extension is made from the same 1/4" plyfoam as the wing ribs. Dan will sell you a rough cut rib set for the 2S wing. Check his website "Diehl Aeronautical.com". Pete Klapp, KR-2S Canton, Ohio

The plans that came with my project are for the the std. KR2 and since the wings are done I really want to know that they are built the way they should be and there is know way to tell. What do you mean by "Foam Ply"? Is that mearly a "Foam Block" extention epoxied to the plywood rib @ the end of the spar, sanded to contine the fwd. sweep of the tailing edge and the continue the reducing rate of depth of the airfoil section to the tip? My wings have the pre-molded tips and the y extend beyond the trailing edge by an inch to an inch and half or so (3-4 cm), which looks a little "Amatuer Night" which is why I raise the question. I was hopeful that one of the KR2s folks would shed some light on this. The wings seam stout enough but it just would not do to have a tip fall off with the potential for making the bird hard to handle even though the loads are lighter out there.
