KR> Progress, aileron balancing
Hello kr friends, I am glad to tell you we sprayed the Wings. It was al lot of sanding (o I hate that) but the result is very nice. Soon I will update my site so you can see the results. I think the are a bit heavy but I am not sure, I need to balance the ailerons so I need some help. The KR guide book is at my parents place And they are on holyday so I ask you guys. If you ballance the aileron, do you need that much lead that the lowerside of the aileron is waterlevel? If I look at Google is that the best way but I need it to heare from you. Thank Stef -- Steph and his dad are building the KR-2S see http://www.masttotaalconcept.nl/kr2

Tri-gear sets pretty level in the three point attitude. Larry Flesnr

Insure you have no hinge friction or binding. The object is to have equal weight forward and aft of the hinge point. Larry Flesner
