On the three KR's that I have worked on they had 5, 7 and 9 lbs on the tail wheel and the CG was still comfortably within design range. Your completed weight and balance figures will supply you with the info you seek. ----- Original Message ----- From: "JIM VANCE" <va...@claflinwildcats.com> To: "krnet" <kr...@mylist.net> Sent: Monday, December 13, 2004 6:04 AM Subject: KR> Weight and Balance

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. > > Jim Vance > va...@claflinwildcats.com > _______________________________________ > Search the KRnet Archives at http://www.maddyhome.com/krsrch/index.jsp > to UNsubscribe from KRnet, send a message to krnet-le...@mylist.net > > please see other KRnet info at http://www.krnet.org/info.html
