Paul,
I have followed this newsletter for some time now. I like everything you
do with it. I am in the process of building a KR2 and would like to put
a rotary 13th in it. Do you know if this is feasable?

David Stowers

A 13B is a bit heavy for a KR2. A one rotor would work but it is more
expensive.
It is just as much work to build a slightly larger airplane. Take a look
at Tango.

Paul,
Thank you for the info so fast. I forgot to mention that this will actually end up closer to a KR2s. The fuselage will be stretched 14 inches and widen by about 4 inches. Also about 2 feet longer wingspan. Some of these guys are running 0200 continental and 6 cylinder corvair engines. Their weight has to be up there.
David,

In that case it will work fine.
