Keep in mind that you will be shifting your C.G. aft when you do that.
It is already easy to go too far aft C.G. with the KR as the pilot /
passenger / fuel / baggage are a very high percentage of the gross
weight. I went with long narrow tanks in the outer wing panels just
behind the main spar ( 10" X 7' ). No tanks in the fuselage. From
full to empty (25 gallon) my C.G. shifts forward 1". I seldom fly with
more than 15 gallon unless going cross country. Fuel in the outer wings
also reduce the weight carried by the W.A.F.'s.
