Wow Jon,
Is that the much traveled Dr. Dean, Mark Jones, Eric Pitts, and apparently now
Jon Kimmel KR Project? Glad to see the project is progressing. Hope to see it
flying one day soon.

Please do not use the situation that your Kr2 sits on its tail and back up
as OK
My Kr2 has HEAVY nose weight which I did on purpose.
My Kr2 needs a minimum of a 70 kg (154 lb) pilot to move the CofG back to
fly it.
The figures and measurements must be correct, you do not want to fly a KR

I'm trying to remember, but I think the typical flight-induced stress failures
almost always occur in the tail attach area, not the wings. It is difficult to
stress the wings to yield without stalling them. Therefore, the stronger wings
would demand stronger empennage and engine mount too. regar

Since it is Friday I have to add my shot to this. When I was doing my
preliminary weight and balance I went searching for information. As usual I
ended up on Mark's project where he has a very nice table that lists his
weights and moments. I didn't look
I don't think this is that project. I don't know exactly who started this
one...it has had at least 4 owners and one of the owners along the way died
so i can't trace it back to the original. To make matters worse there were
2 sets of plans that were combined and part of one set was lost...the

That is true for the as5046. The as5048 is inherently stronger since the
