Don't trap yourself with a false notion that if everything is not 100%
optimum, the airplane will fall out of the sky. Keep it simple. The idea
is not to stretch the limits of the airplane's capabilities but to fly
within the known capabilities. If the airplane doesn't fit the mission

Thanks Mike! That's a hack of nice idea to deal with the sensitive CG
issues for experimental & light aircraft such as ours, and I was actually
thinking of adapting the same kind of "adjustable CG" design tricks along
the same direction.
Well, there is obviously neither bombproof mechanism to
I saw one KR-2 design where the owner built the plane with a small weight
in the tail cone, designed to be easily moved forward as needed. As long as
you had a bombproof method of attaching it (and an idiot-proof way to
remind you where it was), this could be very useful.

There are a number of Exel spread sheet CofG files around for the LT. modify to
suit your W&B. You can have on your phone. Then just add the weights and fuel,
and check your are within limits

Thanks Mike for your invaluable input on the CG issues when two people are
in the KR2 cockpit for training I believe it is much easier to resolve
the tail-heavy CG issue rather than dealing with the inherently narrow CG
envelope issue from the standard KR2 design, correct? I am wondering if

would adding a BRS to a trainer KR add a margin of safety against the CG
issue when slow flight training (at altitude of course) ?

all caught on gopro)

Hi Mike,
I just wanted to comment to make sure that your referring to a KR2 in all the
comments. My experience in my 2S and a couple others I have been in has been
all good. I have well over a hundred hours of XC with passengers. I fondly
