I took a look at Brad Ankerstar's KR2 pictures and it has raised a question
(at least for me).



Brad's KR2 appears to be a single seat version with the pilot seat off the
fuselage centerline to the left with some type of storage compartment on the
right.

I am doing a mock up of my cockpit of my KR2 (single place) at this time
(too cold for glass work) and I am planning on putting my hiney on the
centerline.  My thought process is related to balance in roll.



Now having said that I just realized that many of those who are building 2
place KR's tend to fly then solo a lot and thus they are off the centerline
with their hineys. 



So how big of a deal is it to have the CG left or right of the centerline?
Do those with wing tanks compensate by using fuel burns to balance?  What
about aileron trim tabs for this (I would rather not).



By the way from what I can tell I make about 2 Mark Langfords tipping the
scale at 240.
