Although I have zero KR time, how you use your fuel can be more important than
how much you have.
I once flew a 39 gallon span can six hours and landed with 40 minutes fuel
remaining (nearly 4 gallons).
I also flew the same type from KOSH to KLOU on 25.2 gallons in four hours (IAS
80-85 mph).

Flesner. I'am here to tell a story. Have you ever picked up the tail of a
Piper Pawnee to see if there was chemical in the tank? Probably not. This
CG issue is a simple no brainer and the only threat is two riders instead
of one. If the aircraft is balanced on the airfoil and your landing gear

Given your accomplishments in long distance flying in the KR I'd really
like to know how you arranged the tanks to haul all that fuel.

Rather than adding weight to bring your CG in it makes more sense to move your
battery or even the engine if you can.

of our trusting ASK13 to bring the cg into an acceptable range.
Years later I didn’t head my own advise and flew another glider with an aft

Very good post. I've deliberately not trimmed this response since Gary's post

Thanks, Jeff. I have to admit that, searching my memory, the report was
a while ago (at least one decade, possibly more) that someone reported
the problem with the plastic brake lines. IIRC, they did NOT specify
that they were nyaflow or not. That could have been the problem: an
