Also, see http://www.n56ml.com/kcf.html if you haven't already.  It will 
probably answer a lot of your Dragonfly canopy questions...

I made the canopy frame before I made either front or aft deck, just so 
I could get that transition from canopy to those decks seamless looking, 
and I think I succeeded nicely (see the two photos at the bottom of 
http://www.n56ml.com/ ).

Jim Hill put a Dragonfly canopy on his otherwise stock shaped KR2, and 
there are some photos of it at the top of
http://www.n56ml.com/jhill.html that show one way to put a Dragonfly 
canopy on a KR2.  It looks like he cut it back significantly to fit his 
plane, and I'm not sure if this is a stock aft deck or not, but knowing 
him, it was probably scratch built.  I think Jim was either the first or 
one of the first to put a Dragonfly canopy on a KR2.  The sides actually 
curve in a bit at the bottom, and gives excellent visibility when 
compared to the KR2 bubble canopy.

I'd recommend  SkySmith out of Iowa.  csr at skysmith.com  .  I've been 
with them since 1998 and excellent customer service.  Scott gives 
insurance seminars at Oshkosh.   They will shop multiple companies 
and let you select.  You may have to drop the "hull", both motion and 
non-motion, to get a reasonable rate and go with liability only to 
get a reasonable rate.  That means if you ding the bird it's on you 
to repair.  Except for materials that's what you'd do anyway.  An 
experimental with other than an "aircraft" engine is hard to 
insure.  Much will depend on your personal qualifications, i.e., 
total time, time in type, taildragger?,  recent time, etc..

My liability only is $325 per year but don't expect anyway near that 
for starters, if they will even insure you.  You may have to go 
"naked" if you're comfortable with that.  Just don't taxi into any 
Lear jets on the ramp or land on anyones house. :-(

KR> Insurance...

Getting serious...

Is there any consensuses regarding a preferred insurance carrier and 
cost?  I know this can be highly variable but I'm looking for some 
guideline.

I received one quote for a KR1, liability and hull coverage nearly twice 
the cost I had on my RV7. (over $3k)  What's with that?

Matt,

I guess I don't see the problem either unless you are trying to use a Dragon 
Fly canopy with a stock KR-2 canopy frame.  I have a dragonfly canopy in the 
-2S frame on my plane built to the stock width.  I used the forward part of the 
canopy, but could have (and maybe should have) used a bit more aft section of 
the canopy to provide a little better head room.  If you are trying to use a 
stock KR-2 canopy frame, then that might be a bit of a problem.

Well, I?m having some trouble with the canopy now. I?m using a standard 
Dragonfly canopy, and I have a stock width kr2. Bend the sides in, looks great. 
Headroom, forward visibility, blends well with the back deck? whoops. the curve 
from front to back lessens, to the point where I can only pick *two* of those 
three. I?ve enclosed a picture that demonstrates the difference between the 
Dragonfly at normal width and at the width I?m working with. Any of you guys 
that used Dragonfly canopies, can you please tell me how you made it work? I?m 
at a loss.
