Yes, I had the same question, the KR is a great conventional gear airplane. However, about the CG not changing in the air. Well, CG is all about what it is in the air. We really don't care much what it is on the ground, if there is a difference. There is no way that you can take the tail wheel off the plane and not change the CG. Also no way you can move the main from the front of the spar to the rear of the spar and not change the CG, and really no way you can add the weight of a nose wheel forward of the center of pressure and not change the CG. Your CG will change. The question here is How Much? Certainly, there must be some builders out there who had done their CG when it was a TD and then done it again after it was converted to a TW. Certainly, this builder never will, cause I love my TD.
---Original Message--- Your CG really will not change in the air. Why do you want to get rid of the tail wheel?
