KR> Where should the mains be located at on a standard KR2?
My Mains are 3 1/2" aft of the leading edge. The CG drawing I have from another KR that has flown quite a lot shows his mains are 4" aft of the leading edge. My W just before getting the plane licensed in 1997 shows that it had 5# on the tail with the plane empty and leveled for weighing. With all the changes made to the plane over the last 20 years, most of the weight was added aft. When I weighed it last summer the tailwheel weight was up to 26# with the plane empty and the leveled for weighing. -Jeff Scott Los Alamos, NM? ? Where is the main axel located in relation to the wings leading edge? My mains are located 3 ?? aft of the wing leading edge. I would expect to find this information on a W spreadsheet as most KR?s are different however small. Ryan KR2 N9099A -Original Message- At 10:47 PM 11/17/2016, you wrote: >I have a standard KR2.

KR> Where should the mains be located at on a standard KR2?
I have 2 conventional geared KR2's, on both the landing gear is attached to the front of the spar. With the seats empty and the front tank full they are very light on the tail and it is easy to tip them onto the nose especially if the plane is level. Once 1 or both seats are filled and the tail is on the ground there is a lot more weight on the tail.
