KR> What are most KR-2's inside fuselage width?

[Randy Smith]

That's the way my wife and I looked with my KR2. After 1 of use put on weight 
?I had to by a bigger plane. The Kr then became a KR1. About landing on a grass 
strip. I did that on a 2500 foot strip for 10 years. Sometimes when the lake 
was up it would be 2200.? Airport is 30F look at google map. I had a tail wheel 
not nose gear and that will make a difference. I would come in at 5 mph over 
stall about 800 fpm and flare. stopped every time. I miss that plane. I now 
have Less Palmers KR and it is very heavy and is not as much fun. Poor thing 
has been sitting for 2 years and I hope after my engine rebuild on my 14-13-2 
Bellanca Cruiseair. I am going to spend some time on it and try to race it.

I was looking for a photo I took at the KR Gathering in 2001, to 
illustrate how tight the KR2 (and KR2S) are if you build it per the 
plans.? Especially the KR2 with the bubble canopy, which forces both 
pilot and passenger to lean in a bit to dodge the edge of the bubble. 
That's easily dealt with solo, as you can just slide over a tad in the 
seat, although a center stick limits that.

See image below, which shows Rob Schmitt in the passenger seat of Terry 
Chizak's KR2, taken from above by some idiot hanging out the missing 
back door of Larry Flesner's Tripacer.? Also, note how "short-coupled" 
the KR2 is...the horizontal stabilizer is very close to the wing, hence 
the pitch sensitivity...
