My experience on this is the same as Larry's. I have built 2 KR2, and have set the Gross Weight on both. I believe that everyone does and have never heard of an FAA calculated Gross. Mine is set at 1200 # by me. Now, I just have to finish the weight tests, to certify that it will operate properly at that weight. I am curious to know how they did that calculation.
See N64KR at http://KRBuilder.org - Then click on the pics? See you Oct. 4 and 5, 2013 - KR Gathering in Mt. Vernon, Il ? MVN Daniel R. Heath -?Lexington, SC -----Original Message----- FAA calculated gross is 1178 pounds for a useful load of 397 pounds.
