Ron be sure to calculate this additional aft arm before u do this, KR's have a very short CG and pushing the entire tail section aft will most certainly affect it. U will need to move something forward and that could even mean the engine. I have a 13 gal header tank and after an hr of flight w a passanger it becomes quite noticable and I need to trim the nose down. Be safe.
