Jerry and I finished the final W & B on N64KR, today. All the numbers check out and while the plane is a little on the heavy side, I think it is going to be a very stable aircraft to fly and that it will definitely be able to carry passengers. In fact, to me, it came out so good that we may want to consider adding a baggage compartment sometime in the future. However, I will need to take some measurements and run some numbers first. If you choose to look at the spread sheet, you will see that we weighed 3 different people. This was done to get an average station for "people". You will notice that each station varies and of course, that is because people come in all different shapes and sizes.
If you want to play with the sheet, the numbers in yellow are the ones to change. You will see a number on the lower right corner of the sheet that is the "CG". This number runs from zero to 6, if you are in the allowable CG range. You can see it at: http://krbuilder.org/WeightAndBalance/index.html If you do look at the spread sheet and see anything that does not look right please let me know.
