Ron, The KR and a Cessna 172 are actually both "certified" aircraft. However, the 172 is certified in the "Standard" category and almost all KR's are certified in the "E-AB" (Experimental - Amateur Built) category. Ed J. -- From: "Ronald

Hi Dan, The aircraft you mentioned, with out modification, have always fit the "LSA" rule.  The Cessna 150 fits the LSA rule save the gross weight.  Because of that it will never be an LSA ruled aircraft.  Even if you put it on a diet.  You can only be a virgin once... Gods Speed, J.E. Caudle

Actually, I wish I knew then, what I know now. After having built 2 KRs and having to go back and modify this one, I have learned a few things. I do enjoy working on the KR, but I do not like getting myself in long drawn out projects that keep me from flying. So, with a center stick, why does

It that were true, then how is it that Cubs, Champs, and some Ercoups, and probably others, are now being flown under LSA? See N64KR at http://KRBuilder.org - Then click on the pics  See you at the 2011 - KR Gathering in Mt. Vernon, Il - MVN There is a time for building and it never seems to end.

KR> Retractable gear and dual sticks

Dual sticks and retracts go together for me. When teaching grandchildren how to fly, for me it would seem most comfortable to have the throttle in the center for ease and access to both occupants and the dual sticks so that the center is free of obstruction for retracting gear. On one of my

I don't think this is correct if he switches to the fixed gear (major mod). If I were him I would call EAA and explain what he wants to do and that he wants to fly it in the LSA category. On top of that, the only one that even knows it has (had) retracts is the builder/owner. I doubt that it

That is a pretty KR, but if I had it, the first thing I would do, would be to get rid of that retract gear, and the next thing would be to put in dual sticks. Nice KR. I am sure that the covers were not part of the plans, and there is a reason why the re-design of that gear mechanism took up

I feel like sticking up for the retractable gear. My first KR had them and they worked beautifully. The covers that covered the wheels when retracted acted as speed brakes with the gear extended. I don't know if these wheelcovers/drag brakes were part of the original design, but I think so. I
