Dan, I used an Army duffle bag and filled it up with read mix cement bags, one at a time progressing up to the max weight. Duffle bag was secured with the passenger seat belt. I did not do any stalls with the max weight - didn't want any unneccessarity suprises. Worked fine.
Thanks, Rob Schmitt N1852Z From: "Dan Heath" <[email protected]> Subject: KR> Weight Testing To: "'KRnet'" <[email protected]> Message-ID: <000001cce987$0e046e90$2a0d4bb0$@net> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" I believe that to satisfy your gross weight, you must test the plane to that gross weight along with a W&B of the plane at the time of the test. I still need to test my plane to the 1200 # gross weight that I have arbitrarily set for it. I tried to go to the EAA site for help, but they have so many log ins for so many different parts of the web site that I could not find anything. So my question to all you who are currently flying your KR and have established your Gross Weight, how did you test for that weight? I think it is a very scary thing to fill your cabin with heavy junk, so I know there must be a safe way, but I have never heard it discussed.
