An aircraft licensed "experimental" can be flown by a "light sport 
pilot" if it meets the requirements of a light sport aircraft.  Make 
the necessary mods to meet the light sport requirements, call it 
something other than a KR, and go flying.  I don't know about a "one 
of a kind" aircraft but a factory kit light sport is very restricted 
on what changes, if any, you can make to the airplane.  If it were 
me, and I could get the airplane to meet light sport requirements, 
I'd go "experimental".

Just my opinion

Hi guys;
 I'm looking at a std. kr-2 W/ a 1835 vw, tricycle landing gear, no flaps. no 
speed brakes,standard. air foil.  Not quite done. Wings need to be attached, 
inside finished,etc. It has not been certified as airworthy, but it was started 
as a experimental.  Can that be changed to LSA with some mods if done before 
airworthy certification.  I'm new at this so bear with me.
 
 
The KR gathering was great.  The shory flight Rob took me on was great. (thanks 
Rob)
