What are load limits (service load and ultimate load) for the KR-2? I
inherited a 95% complete KR-2 from a deceased member of our EAA chapter. The
aircraft already had an airworthiness inspection; it was taxied but not flown
prior to his demise. The problem is that it is substantially over weight (in
excess of 700# empty); unfortunately, I had to add 22# lead to get the CG
inside the aft limit (making it a lead sled in more ways than one.) At a full
fuel weight (limited to one occupant) of around 1050#, I was wondering if the
KR-2 is up to the task structurally. Any additional info would be greatly
appreciated.
