Not necessarily, many designs have removable wings with attachment points inside the fuselage. A specially built dolly is used to transport the fuselage when wings are detached as in moving to and from home or whatever. The beauty of this arrangement is that all wing components stay with the wing (gear, flaps, ailerons, gear, etc). When it comes time to put wing on it is merely a matter of a few bolts and control cables, quick disconnects for fuel and pitot as well as navigation lights. I have seriously considered trying this with my project but then again the purists among us will claim it's not a KR. A good source of information on this can be found in a book called Light Airplane Design by L. Pazmany. Doug Rupert

Might be adding weight cuz to get the same wheel base you'll need a bigger gear spring. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ron Butterfield" <rbutterfi...@mebtel.net> To: <kr...@mylist.net> Sent: Wednesday, October 06, 2004 2:32 PM Subject: KR> of wings, stubs, and attachments
