That sounds like a good idea to me Orma. Place the tailwheel on something that places the KR in its normal flight attitude with scales at all three points and measure and verify the actual CG location, prior to flying.
We W/B some of our gliders this way and it works fine. I would be very reluctant to load and fly and hope that everything would be fine. Denny ...
