Hi all,I finally just completed my KR2 on the 1/NOV/2013, 2 years 3 months and 1800hrs (yipee!), and after final weigh in 4 days ago i have an mt. weight of 635lb/288kg and a gross weight of 1162lb/527kg that's with 26.5gal/100L. fuel (Aus. is a big place!) and based on two 85 kg pilots on board.I am now about to go back to sea for four weeks so I now have to sit wait to get the permit to fly in the mail, and to get the first flight out of the way and thinking of that, I had a pilot organised to do the first flight for me, he came around yesterday to do his own inspection on it and could not wait to do the first flight UNTILL he tried to fit in it! He couldn't even get his knees under the dash let alone close the canopy. He didn't look that much bigger than me! considering that I had built it around myself. Bit to be said for the size of the KR!So what tips can I get for the first flight? If I end up doing it myself.

Hey guys, I just did a weight check on my project. So far, fuselage on spring alum gear, wheels, O-200 engine, cowling and wood prop mounted, HS, elevator, rudder and wing spars piled on top came to 523 lbs. Any thoughts out there? Gary Soli Deo Gloria
