Hi Larry, do you have any pics you could send me? I just bought out a friend who was building a KR2S. Its in the boat stage and the wings have nothing done yet except the spars. I don't think I like the idea of having fuel sitting on my lap so I was considering something either in the stub wings or possible a tank directly behind the seat????? not sure on that one!! Any help would be appreciated. Bob Boyd in Frazeysburg Ohio
