I have a stock KR2 with a 2180 VW. It has a 12.5 gallon header tank and I flew it to the KR Gathering and back last year. I can fly more than 2 hours on that tank with reserve, so it is enough. However, I could have easily made the Gathering with just one stop, if I had about 20 gallons, and I

The answer to this varies greatly by the CG that the plane would have empty. You have to know that first, to know what affect, moving the fuel around, will have. There is a spread sheet for a KR2 and one for a KR2s at the link shown below. You can plug in your numbers, add some additional cells
