I too believe that the KR is the plane for me. Though 6'1" tall, I am told the older versions are out, but I want as close as I can get to turbo [normalizing, and subject to VW engine capability because economy high alt cruise is the idea here], RG, IFR, night plane. Before you reply there is no such thing and it cannot be created, I do advise I'm willing to compromise! Understanding thus far, that the VW engine is best for economy. Call me crazy, but If I have to spend over $30k, I may as well buy a V-tail bonanza, so I don't think my demand is unrealistic. I suppose the KR2s [stretch] is a fixed gear only, doh! Any good way around this to get a plane that I can fit in? Keeping this short, is there anyone with ANY KR2 version near knoxville, TN? I'd like to visit, or invite to visit [I live on TN87, 8nm south of TYS, knoxville's airport]. I'd like to check the plane out, and also offer to pay expenses. Of course, I need to overcome the hurdle of actually fitting into the plane... then I grow more serious.
