I know you are young so here goes. 1) Purchase a set of plans from Rand Robinson. 2) If you have them, Read Them. Several times! 3) Research every website available on KRs. 4) Research the KRNet archives and KR Newsletters. If you have done this, 98% of your questions would be answered by your own actions. This is what I did for a year after I purchased my plans. I bought most of the materials for construction in that year also, before I even cut my first piece of wood. Now to answer your question: The main center spar is epoxied in between the two 5/8" verticals (stations D and E) sitting on the lower longerons. There are 2 45º plywood supports per side going forward and aft. epoxied to the lower longerons, stations D/E and the lower 45º 5/8" support braces. Measure the outside dimensions to your fuselage at the main spar location. Divide in half. Mark a center line on your main center spar. Mark from the centerline half of the fuselage width dimension on each side. Rough up the spar webs at this location with some sandpaper. Position the spar in the fuselage, apply T-88 epoxy. clamp and let cure. Repeat for the aft spar, but the height is determined by the airfoil to be used and root incedence. Some pictures are at my site below http://n323xl.iwarp.com/blfuselage5.htm http://n323xl.iwarp.com/blfuselage6.htm David Mullins Nashua, New Hampshire http://N323XL.iwarp.com Justin wrote: > How do the wing spars attach to the fuselage.

My vent/overflow is a simple 1/4" aluminum tube placed near the filler cap of my Header Tank. The filler cap is in the center of the tank so that, in a nosedown or a noseup attitude, the fuel would less likely to overflow. The vent/overflow goes thru the wall of the tank and is connected to an overflow 1/4" line via a short piece of plastic fuel line that makes an easy disconnect when I need to remove the removable fuel tank. The overflow line is then routed to the belly of the airplane. ----- Original Message ----- Subject: KR> Fuel tank vent/overflow What have some of you that are flying done to vent/overflow you fuel tanks?

Bobby Muse ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dan Heath" Mine was bent forward. I probably should have added a protective screen. I would be concerned about the configuration described below as it could create a suction. Daniel R.

Canada and the US are the closest relations you can get. I love the US, just wish we could get Green cards eh? This will pass and we will get a government in Ottawa with a bit of sense. Then we will beable to tell the world what we all know, that Canada is involved and supporting the effort just too gutless to admit it. How embarrassing.

We all do understand that the majority of Canadians are not against us. Thank you for affirming this. Canada is indeed our best friend and will always be.
