I'm sure Mike means "within reason".

This won't work with a nosegear without some thought . . .(using wing jacks on
the spar with someone to stabilize the plane while lifting it seems like one
way . . .) but if it's a conventional gear KR, filling up the header and
lifting the tail will tell you how tail heavy the plane is. In my experience
with two of them this lifetime, the KR has a wide CG range that, if exceeded,
can be easily compensated for with extra speed if necessary. Both my KR's
have let me get away with murder, but both KR's were built by engineers who
were precise with their work. Assuming a KR has been built with finesse, my
impression is they are very forgiving.
