RE: How high is the average turtledeck for someone my heigth? How to test.
Are you building a 2 or a 2S? I am 5' 8.5" tall and I had a serious head room problem with my first KR. Are you using a pre-molded Turtle Deck? You should decide what kind of seats you want to build and do that first. Then sit in it and have someone take some measurements with your hat and headset on, just as you will fly it. Don't forget to simulate a seat cushion and seat back cushion if you don't have them. Once you decide how high the turtle deck needs to be, build it to that height. Don't worry about the canopy untill after you get the Turtle deck unless you are going to use the bubble as is, then you may need to compromise. Our site has a lot of information on doing this for a KR2. N64KR Daniel R.
