Hi KR friends. After the paint job we installed the engine mount and introduced our kr2 with his new friend" the BMW engine" so last week we did a pre weight and balance to check the engine mount.
I made the engine mount after a lot of calculation and assistance from some of the krnet friends. The result of the W&B is great. Because we made the leadingede fuel tanks there is almost no change in the gravity point. It looks like we use only 8"/ 12" aft of the leading edge. So we don't have to use a filler or tho cut something from the engine mount. The light engine is pretty much fwd so the result is a long nose. Final weight will be around 305 kg....It is more we hoped but it is accepteble I think. Now I am sure the engine mount is oke, we can start with the engine cowlings. I did a update to my website to. Everybody thanks for sharing information via the KR-net. Stef Steph and his dad are building the KR-2S see http://www.masttotaalconcept.nl/kr2 http://www.masttotaalconcept.nl/kr2
