Hey netters,
I was just curious on how long people are making their elevators.
I think I made mine 84" and that's including 5" each side for the balance
tabs. Is this too excessive or about right for stability?
David Swanson
Well I went with Mark's AS5046-75 tail airfoil. But someone said to use
some balancing tabs on that as well for more stability. I left my rudder to
the size for the AS5046-75 airfoil as well but if I can get better
performance with changing it let me know. With my KR I widened it 10" and
im running with the AS5046-75 airfoil on my tail section. Ive changed my HS
to 96" .. How high from the HS should I make my rudder to be stable?

I went with the new airfiol on both the wings and H.S. I also stretched it

Using a corvair engine injected I think. I'm building it for speed

Doesn't W.W. recommend that you replace the head studs with ARP bolts? I have
both manual and videos and could have sworn thats what he said to do. Even
gives you instructions on what to do in taking them out. Page 38 in the manual
under THE CASE.
David Swanson
Head studs dont have to be replaced but can be if you choose. ARP bolts are
for rods case and HEAD studs. If you go back to your videos assembly part 3 you
will see where W.W. HIMSELF changed all his bolts to ARP. Also in the manual
on page 38 under the case.

The KR group and I are in a very heavy disput about head studs. Is it
bad to change out the head studs? In your assembly video you say that its ok
