Probably so. Few people build KR1's anymore (it's usually a KR2S that's
narrowed a bit), so nobody's built a KR1 with the new airfoil, but it is
interchangeable with the R
I have been following the Corvair ?authority? since 2003 and found this
this morning. Looks good on him!

If a person has Diehl wing skin's with the Raf 48 airfoil and mounted
AS5046 rib's, Will the skin's fit?

Hello Don,
I have built my wings with the Diehl skins and my first reaction would be to
say no. The skins themselves are fairly flexible cord wise as far as airfoil
shape is concerned but
?
I can't give an authoritative answer, but I would have to agree with what
Stephen says.? If you want the AS Airfoil, sell your Diehl Skins. While the AS
series air foil is a nice design and undoubtedly a much better refined airfoil,
there's nothing wrong with the RAF-48 if you want to go tha

Mark L had a lot of comments about this at the gathering but not everyone
got to hear.

I also built the AS5048 airfoil and had to devise a bellcrank system since
the stock was too large

Other aircraft designs have used that type of setup. The Murphy

Oh, and I forgot push-pull-cables. They can be bad news, and heavy is
the least of it. The more curves there in the housings, the more slop
you'll have as they take up the space between cable and housing, and the
friction is much higher than a pulley system. There's a very good
reason why th
This topic brings me to a question I hadnt thought of.
I have a kr2 plans built boat stage with outer spars made and all the
wafs attached.
Does the new style airfoil match the spars positions? What changes would be
needed to the shape of the spars of any (shaved down, chamfered etc) ?
Also as
Just as aside, my Avid Mk4 has push pull control tubes for elevator and
ailerons including a complex aileron "mixer" that allows the flaperons to
operate as flaps and ailerons at the same time, and to fold the wings back
without disconnecting anything. (Although at low speeds the system can
delive

Go check the airfoil templates at
