Not quite sure what you're asking in this question. Are you asking if a
KR is flown solo does it exhibit a wing heavy condition? My KR, without
any aileron trim tabs, exhibits a slight right wing heavy at cruise. I
clock in at 220 pounds, MTOW, and I fly solo 98% of the time and if I
take my hand off the stick it will after a short period of time start a
very slow right turn. Simply holding my hand on the stick and feeling
no pressure is enough to fly straight and level. I have wing tanks only
and I have to run a fair amount from one tank only to get a heavy wing.
The pilot is so close to the center line that it does very little to
offset the balance. It is really not an issue. Aircraft rigging will
have a much greater effect.
