OK, all this CG talk has got me thinging. I am getting ready to install wing tip navigation/ strobe lights. They are the Aeroflash units. I think the total weight of the power supply units is 2 lbs. Which is 1 lb per unit.
My airplane is a KR-2 (not an S) with a total weight of 672 lbs. I am using a Great Plains VW- 2180. I have a 4.5 gallon header tank with 7.5 gallon wing tanks in each wing feeding the header. the CG location is 7.9 inches. Considering the above and on comparison to your KR, Where are you locating the 2 lbs of strobe power supplies?
