I had previously reported that I would need to add 49 pounds ballast at the
engine area to meet my goal of moving the cg 3 inches forward on my KR-2 .
I had reported some erroneous numbers for the weight and location of the
elevator balance weight.? The correct numbers are 4.71 pounds with an arm of
95 inches.? The nose ballast location is still 23 inches forward of the stub
wing leading edge.? Doing the math: 4.71 x 95 / 23 = 19.45 pounds ballast.
By removing the elevator balance weight with its mounting and bolts, I will
not need that 19.45 pounds of ballast in the nose.
For the ELT move from the baggage shelf to the cockpit floor forward of the
spar: The ELT with batteries and rack weighs 3.5 pound.? The arm at the
baggage shelf is centered at 60 inches.? The new location is centered at 0
inches arm.? No weight loss with moving the ELT, but the previously needed
ballast would be 3.5 x 60 / 23 = 9.1 pounds, now no longer needed.
With the removal of the elevator balance weight and move of the ELT, the
current ballast is now: 49 - 19.45 - 9.1 = 20.45 pounds.
A pound or two at long moment arms does make a big difference.

Has anyone ever tried to support the airplane under the stub wing and lift
up on it with the wings attached tail feathers completed get in the plane
engine on the firewall fuel empty fuel full that's the way I did it in the
radio control airplane days or would something break or poke a hole in the
wing perhaps maybe a support block could be made under the wing to keep
from pushing through just seems like an easy way to accurately measure your
weight and balance center of lift any thoughts

You will punch through and a block will crush foam...
Iirc w&b is best done with 3 scales, one under each wheel... You can then
calculate cg from the weight diff

Yes I do the same thing with my RC planes.? I have every intention of doing it
before I fly my plane.? Because after all I am human...

If you accurately weigh and measure the airplane you can "lift the
airplane" with pencil and paper.
