I know this has been noted before, but I will repeat it. The Diehl wing skins are significantly longer than the stock wings, and there is no "beefing" required, and I know of NO incidents attributed to the longer wings. I have them and the wing span is 23'6".
Mark, you don't have to worry. See N64KR at http://KRBuilder.org - Then click on the pics See you at the 2010 - KR Gathering in Richmond, Ky - I39 There is a time for building and a time for FLYING and the time for Flying has begun. Daniel R. Heath - Lexington, SC -----Original Message----- I am wondering what you are doing about the extra bending moment and shear they will create. You must be careful with wing extensions as they increase the bending moment at the wing root significantly. Also consider the extra load it will put on the wing attachment fittings.
