The answer I am looking for is a number from other KR owners. Where is the main axel located in relation to the wings leading edge?
My mains are located 3 ?? aft of the wing leading edge. I would expect to find this information on a W&B spreadsheet as most KR?s are different however small.

You are probably pretty close to right. Your tail weight will increase considerably with pilot / passenger. Your tail weight will also increase as the tail comes down due to the wheel moving forward in relation to the CG. Most conventional gear KR's are light on the tail in the level attitude. I'm assuming you have the wings attached. Without the wings attached it may actually tip on it's nose.
