What effect if any does the engine have on flying a KR-2 with 2 people? You would think that a larger engine like an 0-200 would bring the CG forward more as opposed to an Volkswagon 1853.
How does the wing design effect the flying characteristics with 2 people? The stock KR-2 wing vs. Diehl wing vs. AS504x wing. Can you just move the wing back a little to give a more forward CG?
