I can vouch for the published CG limit not being correct. Richard Shirley and I flew my Standard KR-2 at 2" forward of the "published" aft limit and it was not fun... I'm glad Richard was there to fly the thing. I didn't expect the response and wasn't interested in working on it... I was glad to get back on the ground. We decided the best course of action was to move the engine forward 3". Nearly everything is complete with the change over. New cables, wiring, cowling extension (not pretty but functional), and rebuilt exhaust. Still have minor baffling, hook up fuel and flight instruments.
It would have been done by now but I just coudn't stand the panel, so I made a new one. I forgot how much I "love" wiring. Everything should be finished this weekend and will do a new weight and balance. I am still hopeful about making the Gathering.
