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

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

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 am doing a mock up of my cockpit of my

KR> Sensitive in pitch.

2010-01-19 Thread Dan Heath
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. See N64KR

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. Joe From: R. Human

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 empty
