RE: Giving more attention to moving the CG forward, and keeping it forward will not only be cheaper, but will also do more to add overall stability with very little penalty
Colin, I totally agree with you on this, except that with a header tank, the CG does move aft as the fuel burns off. I am also in total agreement with Jim Faughn about the importance of getting the CG in the right place. I am convinced that CG is the key to stability on this aircraft. While a low time pilot can learn to fly a conventional gear aircraft, in a KR, it is difficult. I did it, but not without much difficulty and several mishaps. N64KR Daniel R.
