Bill, The KR elevator, especially if stock is not that large compared to airplanes you are used to flying and stalling. In a 172 for instance, that is a big heavy airplane with a large elevator and it takes a lot of elevator to stall it. There are large forces on a 172 elevator due to the large surface area and the prop blast hitting it. The KR is a very light airplane with a relatively small elevator. When I stall mine, I do not have heavy elevator forces that I recall nor does it take a lot of elevator to get the nose pointed way up. I may be barking up the wrong tree here, but the KR is a very unique airplane which flies nothing like any spam can you are used to. You may not have any problem at all but only think you do because you are not yet familiar with or comfortable with the characteristics of the KR. If some of you other experienced KR Pilots disagree with me please chime in now. It appears Bill has his ducks in a row with the CG calculations. Bill, if you have any experienced KR Pilots near you, maybe you should let him/her fly it and see what his/her reaction is.
