Very good post. I've deliberately not trimmed this response since Gary's post
below sums things up so nicely.

Colin Hale sounds like the real deal. If he's written a book, it's next on
my read list.
When I read "When I left Alaska for Russia, laden with 220 litres of fuel on
board, or 55 US gallons. I could hardly lift the tail wheel off the floor and
knew already, without scales or maths or charts, that the C of G was beyond the
aft limit, in the divergent range."
I knew he was competent, but today he wrote
" but why are so many plots wanting to say, "I flew mine way beyond the aft C
of G limits and it almost killed me! "
What the hell do you expect?"
What I expect is that if Colin flys a KR at aft CG he will arrive at his
destination. If I do, I might. If a green pilot tries he won't.
The KR is a delightful airplane. Fast, fun, & cheap. A novice will have his
hands full at forward CG and MUST NOT carry his friends till he has it
mastered. When he has it mastered, he will know what not to do.
