(Insert the sound of me slapping my hand to my forehead here)- why wasn't I 
paying attention?  The KR2 wing is *not* constant chord for most of its span, 
so the MAC is certainly not 48" just because that's what the chord is at the 
center section!  My bad.

Re-stated then, and using 41" as the MAC, a CG range of 15 to 35% would be 
6.15" to 14.35"... a range of 8.2".  Now it makes sense when Neil Bingham 
writes in his "A Critical Analysis of the KR2" that in his opinion, the stated 
8" range should be reduced to a 6" range, with 2" being taken off the aft end 
of the range.  The numbers all make sense now; thank you Jon!
