Either way works, although I'm told that adding a bay is better due to the plywood scarf hits the same vertical, theoretically saving some plywood. If you're just going to add a little to each, I'd think you could get away with 2" or so on each one, but I'm guessing. > 2. I want to use a 0-200 (my dad has one laying around). Using a larger > engine, what modifications should be made to the fuselage? Firewall? Check the various fuselage photos of KR2S project boats at www.krnet.org . The 2S was designed to handle the 0-200, and merely added another plywood shelf and a few extra 5/8 x 5/8 members. The newsletter published an "RR sanctioned" reinforcement consisting of two long 4 x 2.5 x .125" alumium cross members backing up the mount bolts also, but personally I left them off since my mount points come closer to the corners of the firewall. Assuming the KR1 calls for 1/4" plywood for the firewall itself, that's good enough for your plane as well. The best photos I can offer are at the bottom of http://home.hiwaay.net/~langford/kfuse.html , but I'm sure there are others out there with more detail. As for width, the 0-200 is very close to the same width as the VW engine, so although the cowling will be slightly different, the firewall shape should be OK. > 3. Is anyone using inset hinges and weight balance on the flying > surfaces? What methods are people using? Not sure what you mean by inset hinges, but I would think the stock piano hinges would qualify, and they work just fine. Ailerons MUST be balanced, and if I were running an 0-200 in a KR-1 I'd definitely balance the elevators. Again, check the sites, but most are pretty much going by the plans (at least the KR2 and S has them). If the KR1 plans don't have them, that doesn't mean they don't need them, especially at the speeds you'll be travelling at! The KR-1 plans are notoriously lacking in the details. I'm sure somebody with the details will point you to a webpage where it's built per plans. In my opinion, the elevator is best balanced at the tips of the elevators, and there's nothing wrong with the stock KR method of balancing the ailerons (see http://home.hiwaay.net/~langford/troy/00062926.jpg for the stock setup). > 4. Wing tanks, what kind of mounting are people using for tanks in the > wings? Wet wings? The KR2 and 2S plans call for tanks in the outboard wings, and most have been done that way. Mine is one of the few in the stub wings, and that works too. Aluminum probably is the way to go, but composite works too, as long as you build them separate and test them for leaks BEFORE you install them. Just stick with us, and we'll get ya there...

The only reason I can see is if you are still using the retracts. My humble opinion is the in the inboard section is the way to go with fixed gear. On the other hand, I think there was something on Mark's website about having the fuel in the outboard sections to keep it further away from you in a fire. I will admit that there is some logic to that. If you have only wing tanks and need a lot of fuel in them that is also a reason. I have a 14 gallon header tank and I put about five gallons in each stub wing when I took of the retracts. I have a transfer pump to pump from the wing tanks into the header tank and a selector switch to select which tank I am transfering from. I only have a fuel gauge in the header tank. I really don't need to know in flight how much fuel I have in the wing tanks because I will not be stupid enough to run the header tank down past half empty (What the hell, call it half full. I am feeling optomistic today.) before I start to transfer fuel and figure out that there isn't any. Dan Heath wrote: >Go for it in the outboard wings if you like.

I added a lot of stuff, refined some of what I'd already said, made it a tad easier to navigate, and plan to make it a sort of KR FAQ (at least as I see it), and will continually update it and add to it as ideas occur to me. It's at http://home.hiwaay.net/~langford/kopinion.html . If anybody wants to take issue with anything I've said, you're welcome to bring it up on KRnet for discussion. And let me know of any glaring omissions or stuff that you think might need addressing. Two that I can think of right off are the Pulsar canopy, and now that I've seen Willie Wilson's KR page, the Grob Motorglider canopy looks excellent as well. And Dan's comment on the one really good reason to put fuel in the outboard wings (because it's supported by the wing) is another good one that deserves mention somewhere...
