Joe,
My airplane is a standard plans KR-2 rigged as tri-gear with Diehl wing
skins.
Distance from aft face of the firewall to the fwd face of the main spar is
22-1/4 inches; from fwd face of the main spar to the base of the fwd side of
the rudder post is 109 inches.
Wing span is 23-feet,
My dimensions are 116.5" (9' 8.5") from L.E. Of fwd spar to lowest connection
point of Aft Vert Spar.
And from aft side of Firewall to L.E of Fwd spar is 24.25". (2' 1/2")
As you can see most every KR is different. My KR is stock KR2 with
fuselage extended 24 inches behind the forward spar. My dimensions
are: 154 3/4 inches from forward face of firewall to rear of vertical
tail post, and 23 inches from rear face of firewall 1/4" ply to
forward face of front
As many of you know, I had the original KR-2 tail on my KR, then cut it off and
built a significantly larger tail.?
?
For some background, the boat for my KR was constructed prior to the release of
the -2S plans.? It was becoming common at that time to extend the fuselage, so
mine has a 14"
Morning Folks,
?? I would like some more dimensions for the length of existing KR2 and KR2S
fuselages, (foreword face of main spar to back side of firewall and foreword
face of main spar to the intersection point of the tail post to fuselage
bottom) I have about 10 so far but I would like to
Thanks Mark,
Nothing beats first hand experience.

Well, the drawing doesn't actually have a scale written on

Mark,
What is the height in inches of the tail post for the KR2S?
My 2S supplement for some reason doesn't give a measurement for it. I
finally found my original KR2 plans package and the tail post is shown
as 40" .

I don't know if we're talking KR2 or KR2S, but I added 6" to both ends
of horizontal stabilizer, while leaving the elevator the same size, and
was quite happy with the stability of N56ML, an S. A KR2 could stand
even more,

That will help, but the same material further aft on the ends of the
stabilizer (leaving the elevator the same size) would be more effective,
and easier to build, since

Mark , how much extra width would you recommend

Why not just reduce the elevator span or chord ? Virg
