I have been researching the C.G. range for the KR2S and have some interesting findings. I found that you can make a conservative approximation by assuming a trapezoid shape and it appears that Ken Rand did this for the KR2. I found a website that has a simple online calculator...the critical fac

Bill, Although I can't tell you where it's at in the plans I can tell you that in the Aircraft Spruce catalog (2014-2015 edition) on page 21 at the top right section of the fiberglass cloth listing, look for the 5.85 oz. glass. Under the description it even lists it as being used on the KR ai
