I was using Marks example of 15-30% of MAC. This looks to already have
the AFT 2" removed from the calculation so with MAC being 42.66 it
calculated out to 6.4-12.8" aft of the LE.

Not necessarily a bad thing, depending. See how it feels in the air
before you start tearing things apart. An aft CG unloads the tail and
reduces drag, increases speed and range. Also increases sensitivity
on the stick and (they say) increases stall speed a tad - this feature
can cause unexpected and sudden breaks but it you keep a margin of
speed as you get a feel for the plane, you may find that you like your
aft CG. I'm always flying with an aft CG since I've usually got the
baggage area loaded with tools and travel stuff, computer, clothes,
etc. It's never been a problem and actually helps with making a
three-pointer landing if winds are calm or straight against you.
This "aft CG" question can be a force for good or evil. Take it up
and see how it flies before you make any drastic decisions. You may
like it just fine. If built correctly, the KR wing is very forgiving.
