I checked my spreadsheet and mine was at 44.36" when empty. That is about 1 and a quarter inches in front of the forward C.G. range. I'll send you my spreadsheet directly.

Where should the CG be on an empty airplane? My KR2 plans say the CG envelope is 4" ahead of the aft side of the front spar to 4" behind it.By moving my battery and ELT as far back in the tail as I can, I come out right at the forward CG. When I load it up with pilot, passenger, full fuel in the header and wing tanks and 15 lbs. of luggage I only move it back 3.4 ". This is still in the front half of the envelope. I do not want to use the back 2" of the envelope, but this seems a little far forward. Where is the normal starting point, and how much does it usually change from empty to full? I appreciate any help I can get.
