KR> Light Sport KR

With regard to the wish for a light sport compliant KR2 or S, has anyone tested VGs on the wings? Seems to me with a slightly extended wingtip and vortex generators, it could meet the light sport stall speed. Also, there is no maximum speed for light sport, unless you count the standard speed

Either thickness will withstand the same temperature without being destroyed, but the 1/8 in thickness will provide a slightly longer time before the wood heats up.  That translates into more time to get the fire out and get the plane on the ground. Glenda McElwee CFI www.AwesomeTrvl.com KI4R

KR> longer wing panels, etc.

A recent post about adding extended wing panels sure peaked my interest.  I may have asked the question before, but did not see much interest. My hope is that some young bright engineer will come up with a wing design to make KR2-s comply with LSA requirements.  Outer wing panels of course,

Walt: I live in Houston and also would like your wood kit if the guy ahead of me does not take it.  I have plans for a KR-2 and am about to spend a lot of money on kits unless you can help me.  I am retired, have a pick up, and can come to Austin any time.    Thanks,  Hal Dantone --- On Tue,

Hi Dan, I used the 1/16 inch between the wood and stainless steel firewall on my Piet. Hasn't flown yet but it looks pretty substantial. Jim Jim Boyer Santa Rosa, CA Pietenpol on wheels Tail surfaces done Wing ribs done Corvair engine On Jul 10, 2010, Dan Heath wrote: I see both 1/8 and 1/1

I see both 1/8 and 1/16 thickness, and the description says that it withstands 2300 degrees, but does not differentiate between the thicknesses. If one works just as well as the other, 1/16 is 1/3 the price. Any thoughts on this? Daniel R. Heath da...@windstream.net See N64KR at
