Ted, the original KR1 was grossed at 750 if I remember right? but I don't have my plans here to back that up.
The truth is, you set the gross for what you feel safe with. I am sure there are others with better knowledge on this though.

Now I'm really getting excited. The total weight is a little heavier than I had hoped but that's the price for the changes made I guess. 490.5 empty. Anyone want to chime in on where the Max Gross should be? Or would that be determined in the test phase?
