Not sure if there is some adverse CG consideration in using the Diehl wing skins on a KR-2 such as on my airplane. My KR-2 seemed to have that aft CG. I don't have any definitive data, but I have had to move my 2180 VW 2-inches forward from the plans location to get a more stable CG. Do the

Hi Russ, I used Dan's skins on my KR2 some years ago and was fortunate in having met Dan at a gathering. I think I was the first to use them in the UK ,and had no problems except that the rib cut out markings didn't correspond somehow . I contacted Dan and he reassured me that my markings were

I want to see if I can get a set of Diehl wing skins, it seems Diehl aeronautical is not wanting to be bothered making them anymore, which has upset my building plans no end. We were also planning on using them in a fibreglassing course, plus they give you a bit better performance. A freind

Phil, It sounds like they use an additive that cuts down on the typical Sytrene" smell that is common with VE and PE resins. The additive doesn't affect the finished product any, it just cuts down on the smell. I used to have the trade names on my computer, but that was before the crash. Bill

Everyone, What are anyone's thoughts on the Diehl wing skins on a KR2S? I would assume they use the original RAF48 airfoil rather than the new one correct? Pros or cons? $1800 doesn't seem too bad to me. Does the additional wingspan take away any on the cruise speeds? Thanks chad

KR> diehl wing skins

We have them and they are nice. They are very long and I don't know how that will affect peformance, good or bad. They will cut your building time and are easy to finish and are for the RAF48. I don't know if they fit the 2S, but I am sure that someone will come forward with that information.

I think that wings and other areas have a different level of criticality and stress. I also did not use VE on areas other than the wings and you can get a good bond, but it is just good. When Jerry and I installed the first windshield made from Lexan, anyone remember how long ago that was?, well,

I have used epoxy on many, many VE premolded parts without any problems. I use a wire brush in my drill instead of sandpaper to get a real good rough surface fast. Of course, I can't think of any reason not to just use VE on the wing skins. Dan even supplies it with the skins. When I am using

Hello all. I disassembled the wings from one of my projects last weekend. I'm planning to build new spars this weekend and found an issue where I'd appreciate some help. The Diehl instructions say it is permitted to use the existing spars if they are already built. If they are not yet built,

John I made the new spars for my Diehl skins, ( old ones warped) as per Dans instructions, they are a bit heavier, but I'm told , much stronger. you must be carefull with the shaping of the top of the spar to match the curve on the skin, or it will show up when it is finished. Phil Matheson

If you do it right, the results are better than I could ever get by building them from scratch. The vinyl ester does set up very quickly, so plan well and have several friends over for a wing installing party. Make sure that everyone knows what they are to do. Don't skimp on the vinyl ester flox
