Disregard the top longerons altogether and use the firewall to set boat level and set wing and tail incidence as suggested in the plans. With the firewall plumb ( boat level ) the forward spar should also be plumb. If the wing ribs are drawn correctly, cut correctly, and installed correctly, everything should work out. If you check closely, the firewall will not be plumb if you level using the longerons as the top of the firewall will pull back at the top when the longerons spread. Another reason to use the firewall to set level of the airframe. If you need additional info to clear this up, contact me directly at fles...@verizon.net The "V" braces appear to be added in the 2S supplement. The do not appear on my KR2 plans or else I missed them. No big deal I guess as my KR has 350+ hours now and is still holding together. Larry Flesner
