Yep. I figured if this thought is rolling around my head, I should answer
some fundamental questions before I start building.
I weigh just over 140, so I save some weight there. I could cut more
weight in the wings by using CF, and maybe 30 lbs in the n

Dave,
That's a great pipe dream to have. See Larry's comments below.
Well, about the heaviest KR2S I've heard of had a gross weight of ~1350 Pounds.
Today's KRs run about 700 pounds empty, for the average sort of heavy
airframes. If you weigh 180 pounds, you have 470 pounds for baggage and fu

My understanding is that if your overweight the counterbalance you introduce a
heavier input force - but reduce the chance of flutter.
If you over counter balance the ailerons - you may also introduce additional
strain and wear on the control rods and hinges (as they will be under constant
load
