One more weight and balance question.
Where should the CG be on an empty airplane? My KR2 plans say the CG
envelope is 4" ahead of the aft side of the front spar to 4" behind it.By
moving my battery and ELT as far back in the tail as I can, I come out right at
the forward CG. When I load it up with pilot, passenger, full fuel in the
header and wing tanks and 15 lbs. of luggage I only move it back 3.4 ". This is
still in the front half of the envelope.
I do not want to use the back 2" of the envelope, but this seems a little far
forward.
Where is the normal starting point, and how much does it usually change from
empty to full?
I appreciate any help I can get.
