Sid, Afraid I do not have anything specific I can offer on how to fix your KR2, but I would like to say I've got a KR2S on trigear and have "never" seen this issue. I've got the standard Diehl trigear setup. True I have no additional counter balance weights in the tail or heavy trim control stuff. I also flew quite a bit in Terry Chezik's KR2 trigear as well getting trained up - I do not recall an issue with his. I was trying to see if you had a web page to see your photos, or do you have a weight and balance spreadsheet? The weights on my wheels were right at 200 pounds on all three gear legs when she is empty. I have my 1st flight weight and balance on my web site at

Some of the additional things going in the tail not in the plans could be trim tab motors, elevator counter balance stuff, wider elevators, antennas and associated wiring, auto pilot servos and hardware associated with removable turtle decks. For tri-gear I am very much aware that the main wheels are not set far enough to the rear to consistently keep the tail from dumping when trying to mount or dismount. Don't know if these issues are addressed in the KR-2S supplement plans. Today I would not build a two-place KR with a 34-inch wide cockpit: that is absurd. Yep, been there, done that.
