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 get 3 or 4 times that many to have a decent data base. ( I would like to hear from more of the overseas guys... I'm pretty sure I can figure out how to covert to/from meters) ?? The conversation below brings out the same dimensional issue as I am trying to document with the fuselage .... when adding what is the total dimension. I don't have plans in front of me but are we talking about 5 feet wide, 6 feet, or even 7 feet I had mentioned it a few weeks ago with the vertical stab... when adding height what is ?that from and to. I mentioned at that time for the vertical it might be better to talk in sq. feet. ?? Please send any data to n357cj at ptd.net ?I would like to get this out posted with inn a month allowing to get as much feed back as I can. Thanks, Joe Horton ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mark Langford via KRnet" <krnet at list.krnet.org>

When I attach the new addition to the airplane I will t88 glue it to the tail and cover in carbon fiber. I want o overlap the old and new with carbon fiber. How far do I want to overlap? << I would have built the extension in place, as a piece of foam glued to the end, shaped using the existing airfoil, and then carbon-fibered in place, overlapping the existing stabilizer (after sanding to expose raw fiberglass) by something like 3"-4". ?T-88 isn't the first epoxy I'd have thought of for that job (the way I describe above), but given that it's already built, T-88 should work fine, as its thickness would help ensure all surfaces are in good contact. ?Rough it all up to ensure lots of "tooth", of course.
