I respectfully disagree. When sitting on the ground, the "1g" weight of the fuel is supported by the landing gear and everything else when the tanks are located in the stub wings. When the fuel is located in the outer wings, the weight, multiplied by the arm of the fuels cg, is supported as torque

So what do finished wings way? 40 pounds? I just don't see how anyone could be worried about the wafs holding up to lets say 100 pounds with a full tank on one side while it holds up to 400 or even 500 at times from the other direction ( and this is half as the wing on the other side carries

Why the continued discussion? The plane was designed with retract gear and wing tanks, at least in the January 1990 manual. Nowhere have I seen stub tanks in the manuals that I have access to. Larry Severson Fountain Valley, CA 92708 (714) 968-9852 lar...@socal.rr.com

They only KR I know of that has flown with tip tanks was in South Africa and after the first few flights he discontinued using them. As I recall it was something about the way the little bird would wrap up in a spin. I think I read here on the web or maybe one of the old news letters. Lynn

KR>TANKS IN OUTER WINGS - Cylindrical Tank

How To Determine - Cylindrical Tank Volume Using the diameter of the tank, multiply the diameter by the diameter (D x D), and then multiply by .7854. This will equal the square area of a circle. Area of a cylinder: Diameter x Diameter x .7854 (D x D x .7854) Taking the length of the tank

In the January 1990 of the KR2 manual, not KR2S, Page 82 talks directly the installation / methods of a wing (not stub) tank addition resulting in 6 gallon tanks (and how to make them bigger). There is no mention of impact on G loading. Larry Severson Fountain Valley, CA 92708 (714) 968-9852

I read some of the concerns about added fuel. Someone stated(last week I think) added fuel adds to the time in the cockpit. (small cockpit). I have been looking at options about added fuel. I have a dated KR with retracts. No room in the stub wing for added tanks. I have been looking at
