This was exactly, precisely what I experienced in Paul Martin's stock KR-2 with 1835 VW power (POSA carb) and tri-gear, with two of us onboard (pictures at http://www.flysquirrel.net/ride.html ). At fast taxi, you could lift the nosewheel at about 30 MPH. Solo or dual didn't seem to change that very much because you sit pretty close to the CG. I suspect that with a Subaru up front things would be different though, since the weight difference between a bare-bones 1835 VW and the standard EA-81/82 setup is at least 40 pounds and much more than that in many cases.
