Well, after building for two months I thought I should post some pictures. http://picasaweb.google.com/103552664644911775549/KR2SS# The idea for the laminations came from Mark L's website and Darren Crompton. The longerons are 5/8 X 3/4 inches. The extra strength is to raise the gross weight (corresponding increase in wing spar strength) as well as to have the option of a larger engine. At this time however a Corvair 3100 will probably be enough power. Douglas Fir is around 16% heavier but 15% stronger the Spruce. The fuselage has two extra 14" bays aft of the main spar and is also 2" longer in front of the main spar. The Douglas Fir used is from a 400 year old tree!
