If it can reassure you, mine has only 1.6 kg on the tail.
Once you step on board, the picture becomes quite different.
Keep your battery where it is.

Objet : KR> Weight and Balance
I have a standard conventional geared KR-2 powered by a 1915 cc GP VW with
a rear drive. I have the battery mounted on the firewall at this time.
I'm ready to weigh it, and would like to have it close to the right c of g
before I rent the scales. Right now, when I bring the tail up to flight
attitude, I have almost no weight on the tail. Is this an indication that
it is nose heavy? Should I move the battery to behind the seats before I
bother with weighing?
I would appreciate input from those who have gone before.
Thanks.
