The belly board on my old KR was 30 x 6 inch. I had the original retract
gear and limited ground clearance. I remember little pitch change if any
when deployed. The board was mounted right in front of the rear spar and
would go down just short of 90 degrees. It sure made landings more
manageable, and I could still climb with it deployed if I botched the
landing. I flew that plane 20 years without the belly board, but it is
something I should have done right up front.
My current KR has plans built flaps and they are not as effective as the
belly board and do cause a real nose down pitch change when fully deployed.

Hi Guys
For anyone using a belly board on their KR's I would like to know what size
they have, is it the right size (opinion) and a debate that I remember from
many years ago ...with holes in it or not to have holes . I will be flipping
Dr. Deans over in the next week or so and want to finish everything on the
bottom.
Thank you in advance
Joe Horton,
