Just a clarification for those suggesting that KR are not "certified" aircraft - KR aircraft ARE "certified" aircraft, just as Pipers, Cessnas, etc. are. KRs are just placed in a different "category" - the "Experimental" Category with the purpose of "Operating Amateur-Built". Pipers, Cessnas and the like are certified aircraft placed in the "Standard" category. To generally imply that an experimental aircraft is necessarily less safe than a standard category airplane would be irresponsible.
