Seems to me the gross weight is more a determination of the aircraft structure design and how that weight is distributed around the CG. Your "assigned" number makes your KR a 4.75 G airplane. A cessna 172 is designed to 3.8 G positive. I wonder how his method would work out on a Cessna. Larry Flesner
