I think people may be getting too concerned about that line about the wing-attack bolts. On the whole, the article was VERY favorable, and it should encourage many people to look into the KR who weren't considering it before. But if you write to the magazine, I would also mention that most

Hey Guys, This is to the guys that have added a speed brake (Belly Board) after having already flown without one. Could you tell if the plane was any slower with the brake at full retraction ? I do not plan on fairing it in unless there is a substantial speed difference. As far as the design,

Thanks Guys, I was hoping the speed difference would be minimal. This will save some building time as I have the plane upside down doing the cosmetics. Full speed ahead. Mike Sylvester kr2s builder Birmingham,AL. Cell no.205-966-3854

Alright Guys, come to my rescue. Am I overlooking what the aileron linkage is made of in the plans ? What do you make the outside linkage that hooks directly to the aileron out of ? I need to get the linkages to know how much to notch out the stub and main wing. Thanks. Mike Sylvester kr2s

Hey Guys, A little update. After spending the last week trying to put a slick finish on the stub and main wings, I have a lot more respect for those who have completed a KR. I have also decided that my next plane will be something other than a composite, perhaps tube and fabric. Don't worry

Stef, First I covered the wing gap area with this clear, super thin packing tape. Then I was able to cheat a little. I have a roll of 3 inch wide glass tape that I cut into about 7 foot long strips. Using 3 layers per side. I was afraid to wet them all at once on a piece of plastic in fear
