I added a photo of my assembled Kr2 on my home page 
http://www.philskr2.50megs.com/

I assembled by KR2 and fitted the wings and weighed her today.
Without paint, battery, wheel pants,spinner.
Just to get some ideas on the numbers

Front Wheel   229.5 lbs  (104.1 kg)    Total weight 638 lbs (246.6 kgs)
Right Wheel   204.58 lbs (92.8 kg)
Left Wheel     203.26 lbs (92.2 kg)
Using the wing L/ Edge as datum  I have at empty weight C of G of 3 .5 
inches from the L/E

Example
Front wheel to L/E = 21.5 inches
L/E to main wheels 17 inches
Total weight 638 lbs
C of G 3.5 inches aft of the E/edge.

Now before you go crook, I only have aft weight to add, (no forward Fuel 
Tank) Paint, pilot & crew, baggage
I took my numbers to my Jet Glider Engineer, and we are both happy so 
far!!!!!!!!!!
