That list is out of date. It uses the proposed not the final gross weight (1232) and stall speed (39 kts) and did not use the maximum cruise speed parameter.
There is a new list at http://www.sportpilot.org/lsa/likely_lsa.html Neither list includes the KR family. Given the advertised specs of a 200 mph top speed (in level flight at maximum continuous power) the KR doesn't qualify. As has been said previously in this thread, if you put a 1600 VW in a KR2S you won't reach 200. The cruise speeds that get posted seem to be in the 120-140mph range. Since the max speed limit is 120 kts = 138 mph, a KR with a small engine may actually meet the LSA requirements. -- wesley scott [email protected] ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, August 08, 2004 10:53 PM Subject: Re: KR> KR Sport pilot eligible??? > The EAA is already compiling a list of aircraft that are eliable and can be > found at this link > http://www.sportpilot.org/lsa/homebuilt_list.html > which by the way lists the Loehle 5151with FIXED gear only. > There is also a listing for certified aircraft. > my 2 cents > Ed Larsen > Ypsi, MI > _______________________________________ > to UNsubscribe from KRnet, send a message to [email protected] > please see other KRnet info at http://www.krnet.org/info.html > > >
