Interestingly when i calculate that prototype krs2 wing area based on my measurements including wing roots..it came out as only 58 sq ft cf the 88 quoted in the original flight test article in kitplane mag . Possibly that was a typo..but they then based wingloading calc on the 88 figure and 1000 lb and came out with a number about 50% too light!!! Wonder how many kits were sold on the basis of those incorrect figures?

They are somewhat tapered, to my surprise. Tape shows 4’ wide at the hinge plane, and 35” at the tips, which are upturned slightly at the trailing edge. Can’t say much about the airfoil section but they are exactly 6” thick at thickest point at root. Of course, it is possible that they are not as original, but I think they are. _______________________________________________ Search the KRnet Archives at https://www.mail-archive.com/krnet@list.krnet.org/.
