Re: KR> CG tolerance

This whole CG thing comes down to the following simple law of physics: Any lifting body (wing) has a center of lift (CL) where if all areas of lift were concentrated in to one spot, it is the CL  The engineer designs the airplane to distribute the weight of the aircraft so that if all weight

Re: KR> CG tolerance

My Kr2 was balanced nose heavy. It needs a minimum of 70kg pilot to fly. Wing tanks on the CofG central line. Flys great. But as always with the short Kr2, PIO (pilot induced isolations) with over correction is common. If I did not have an experienced Kr pilot with me on my first flight, it woul

Re: KR> New Guy

Hello Anthony. I'm Don January and live 50 miles west of you on highway 2 in Michigan N.D. I Have a Taylor-monoplane nearing completion and is built very much like a KR-2. Now would be a good time to stop by and get a close look at the building involved from wings to control surfaces along with Fus

Re: KR> New Guy

Absolutely Larry! Sorry I really meant to say, in my previous questions that we prefer a bit head heavier rather than tail heavier due to the control capabilities we could leverage on using the horizontal stabilizer, correct? But not sure if anyone has tried this, say by how much (within 5 or 10 po

Re: KR> New Guy

Aatually, I have exactly the same question on checking and verifying the weight & balance on my KR2... Is it right underneath the main spar of the wings, or 3 to 4 inches position from the leading edge going backward? The reason I think it's the CG spot because I used two jacks and lifted the whole

Re: KR> New Guy

Hi Sam, thanks so much for taking the time to welcome me and give me all that information! Do you have any suggestions on where to start when figuring out weight and balance and have you had to rebuild the heads on your engine often? I plan on reading through the archives between now and spring
