Specifications state 8-16" aft of the inboard wing leading edge. For N64KR, the CG range is 8" to 14" aft of the inboard wing leading edge. This is because it is generally accepted that the aft 2" are a dangerous place to be. I hope that answers your question as I don't have it in relation to th

35% MAC is a very common aft cg limit...from 707s to cessna 150s. To get any more accurate you would have to know exactly the point where you don't need any download on your elevator/stabilizer. Of course the longer and narrower your wings are the smaller and further forward your MAC moves. Once

Does anyone have a dimension location in relation to the rear side of the main spar for the cg using the 5048 wing? Thanks, Gary

I have been looking at my new plans for a couple of weeks, and thinking about building a 'simple' KR, as light as possible. First, is it conceivable that the CG would be forward enough with a KR2S built light to the following specs?: -1835 engine, hand start, no electrics, Great Plains mount -nos

You do not have to be concerned about the balance as you can move the engine forward if you need to. I think that scratch built is lighter, if you are good at it. If you are not so good at it and have to do a lot of filling and re-work, then I think that the premolds are lighter. See N64KR at ht

Eric, Alot depends upon the builder, I built my own turtledeck, and although my fuselage was 3 inches wider than plans, my turtledeck weighed half as much as the RR pre-molded part. you can see how I constructed mine at: http://www.kr-builder.org/ScottCable/index.html My turtledeck isn't what y
