On the new wing design with the stronger spars, because the wafs will be
farther apart, does this this also create a higher rating in the wafs?
I am pretty sure now I will be pushing the limit plus of the KR2S with this
foam fused flyer, partially because lets see, the HS is larger, fuse both
The net result of using a thicker wing and having the WAFs further apart is
that there is less stress on them. If the center point of the lift on your
wing was 10' from the WAFs and you were holding up 500 pounds of plane on that
one wing the torque would be 500 foot pounds. If your WAFs were

azusa wheels on it. It has flown with them and they
are still in great shape. Rick Wilson.

You are correct, as Brian said. I'm going to be picky here, but it's not
actually the WAFs that's the weak point, it's the wood
So then I believe the new spar was found to be about 18% stronger than the
old one, so add 18% to the gross load? 1239# rated load? 1200 with safety
margin?

I don't think you can make that leap. The spar is 18% stronger, but that's
not how it'll fail. It's the compression of the wood f
