I doubt most people can answer this question to your satisfaction, because it requires three people (pilot, passenger, and somebody to read the scale), and the huge variables are the weights of the passenger and pilot. Other than giving a general idea of whether or not you are even in the ballpark of having a flyable plane, there is not real reason to know this anyway. But the accurate and right way to do this is to start with the weight and balance spreadsheet for your plane, add the pilot and passenger weights of your choice, and then the weight on the tailwheel will fall out of the spreadsheet. But that's not the information you are looking for...what you really care about is whether or not the airplane is within the flyable limits of the aircraft. For more on this, see http://www.n56ml.com/wb/index.html , on how to do a weight and balance in general, including an Excel spreadsheet. This process is also covered in the KR2 Plans, along with a blank calculation page. By the way, I may be confused about what I'm replying to. The subject is "What is your KR2's tailwheel weight with 2 on board?" but the question within is "What kind of tailwheel does your plane have?" I have a solid 3" wheel." So I'll tell you that the plans call for a 4" solid tailwheel on both my planes, and that's what most of us are flying. Mark Langford ML at N56ML.com http://www.n56ml.com
