I don't see where you draw your weight and CG conclusion Jerry. The instrument panel weighs 47 pounds including everything you see in the diagram, G-meter, Rate of turn, DG, Hor, inverter (2#), Rate of climb, airspeed, Compass, Omni, Nav/Com, Transponder, Loran, Auto pilot, circuit breakers, engine monitor, fuel gages, marker beacon, audio panel, light dimmer and misc other switches. A lot of work went into getting that functionality in a 50 pound weight budget. The CG at gross weight is exactly in the center of the allowable range. The zero fuel weight and balance is about a half inch in front of the cg range so after moving one of the batteries I should be perfect. I'll wait till the final weight and balance to make that adjustment. The preliminary weight and balance is on my website at: http://flyboybob.com/web_pages/kr2/weight_and_balance_1.htm.
