Mark can correct me if I'm wrong but when he said his is not stretched forward of the spar, he started with the KR2S plans that did add some length forward of the spar over a standard KR2. My KR is standard KR2 measurements EXCEPT for the 24 inch stretch aft of the rear spar. I wish I had an extra 2 or 3 inches forward. With the 0-200 on the HAPI mount, the CG would have been approx 2 inches behind the forward limit with me and full fuel (wing tanks only). As is, my CG falls almost exactly in the middle of the published range with me and full fuel. A passanger puts me close to the rear limit so I'm inclined not to do anything stupid in that situation like stalls or spin test. My canopy height is more than most and I think I posted it in the last couple of months. Check the archives. Like all KR flyers, I wish for three or four inchs more width in the cockpit, 20 more hp, 30 more mph cruise, an extra 500 fpm climb, and the list goes on...................! First thing you know you're building a Glassair. :-) Larry Flesner
