Please excuse my ignorance. Yes thats exactly what you did.
For some unknown reason I misinterpeted your simple explanation
to mean the heaviest weight from each seat taken solo since
my current operations manual from a different aircraft that I
constructed, specified max weight from each seat
Gary,
My seat is on the centerline with side panels on both sides. I weigh 220
and the plane is 587 empty.

If you go back to my first reply - I said I limit my "Seat Weight" to 360
lbs. That's total for both seats! Now being that the seats are side by side
- I have found through various weights in the right and left seats it
doesn't make any difference how you distribute that weight, so I would
I originally flew my KR2 from the left, but, because of my height, I got a
stiff neck from holding my head at an angle. I then started flying from the
center. The only difference I noticed was that I just had to get used to what
it looked like to fly from the center. However, there was no
Please excuse me, but I am leaving in previous emails
for clarification to anyone who may see this 4 the ist time.
According to your reply u might be stating:
370 from center seat?

I took a look at Brad Ankerstar's KR2 pictures and it has raised a question
(at least for me).
Brad's KR2 appears to be a single seat version with the pilot seat off the
fuselage centerline to the left with some type of storage compartment on the
right.

I have a KR2, stock but heavy (680# empty), and it is so stable that I can
fly it hands off. It is all in the weight being forward. Still sensitive
when you go to jerking the stick around, but very easy to fly. A stock KR2S
should give you even better handling, not that it is needed.

Do any of you guys know if there's a .net for taylorcraft airplanes???

My particular situation is 145/150# left seat, 210# Right seat and I didn't
notice any imbalance requiring a stick deflection. I have a header tank, I
would think that if you had a fuel inbalance in wing tanks it would be
noticeable.
Solo from the left seat it handles the same except it climbs
Thank you. I mean all things considered as follows:
2 seat 1 occupant in either seat; would this equal a single
centered seat single occupant or does the weight have
to be distributed side to side for max carrying capability.

Depends on a multitude of things (OAT - hence density altitude, CG, etc.) -
I operate near sea level have a gross weight of 1150, and based on
sandbagging have limited my "seat weight" to 360lbs total. In the hot Texas
summer I usually want to drop that as much as possible. FYI my personal

Welcome to the list, and the best source of KR information, John.
I have not seen anything about v tails before, as for the airfoil, I
think this will explain most of it.

New to the net, as of this morning, so please bear with me if this inquiry
does not meet all the 'formal' criteria delineated - - I will do better
next time.
I HAVE checked the archives - - either I didn't do it correctly or my

My Cassutt is probably close to a KR. I have a friend with a Lancair 235
sporting an 0-290. He and I are both over 200lbs resulting in a rearward cg..
When I first flew the aircraft it took a concerted effort to to not cause pilot
induced oscillations.
To fly it required "caging" the stick
