General Description:
This is the Diehl Pre-molded Wing skin kit for the KR-2 series aircraft. This kit eliminates many building steps such as creating spruce ribs from paper templates, gluing foam to the ribs and spars then shaping them by hand and finally glassing over the foam. These wing skins will save you a few hundred hours of construction time on your project, not to mention building a stronger, lighter, cleaner, better looking and more consistent set of wings.
We also offer the Rand Stub Wing skins that work with this kit. You can find it under the Category: Wings.
What is included in the kit?
This kit includes 4 panels (A left and right, top and bottom) and the fiberglass ribs you will need to assemble your wings. You will laminate the top and bottom skins onto your already constructed spars. If you have already built your spars to the Rand specifications, you will need to slightly modify them. If not then download our construction manual before building them to ensure they are built to the correct dimensions. The panels come without the ailerons cut out so you have the choice on how large to make them or if you want to add flaps. We are currently working on a split flap kit that will work on these wings.

Construction Method:

My project was moving along but was taking a little longer than I would have liked but I was building everything from scratch. I decided to go ahead and order these Wing Skins and WOW...my project is really taking shape. I can certainly see the light at the end of the tunnel.
