I was an instructor for US Light Sport the original importer of the Sport
Cruiser the day they first brought the first one to the US. The wing lockers as
they are called are a great idea although they do leek and need to have drain
holes in the bottoms. They make a lot of sense and are very useful mainly
because all the weight you put in them is very near the CG as opposed to behind
the seats. The one thing that is a little concern to me though is that the
Sport Cruiser has a max speed of 135 mph whereas the KR has a much higher
speed. They will need to be fastened very securely. They were lined without
outdoor carpet to protect the skin on the Sport Cruiser. We used them for
things like, oil, funnel, fuel tester mainly because they were wet lockers.

Subject: KR> Wing Cargo Wells?
Hi folks,
Had a buddy tell me the other day about a Czech plane he saw recently...
the Sportcruiser. When he googled a pic for me, I noticed the similarity in
general form to the KR2. Then he started talking about how it had cargo wells
in the wings... x number of pounds in each. Blah blah... then I began to
wonder if anyone had tried wing cargo wells on a KR... Anyone know of any?
