Although I encourage the development of one's own aircraft several builders and pilots alike on the net here have tried to make sure that builders do not get the wrong impression about what they are building and what their expectations should be for operation. In the commentary that I referred

I really don't want to discourage anyone from building a KR or from participating on the KR-net, but it seems to me that this LSA issue has been beaten to death many times over, and that the general consensus is that even if you could build a "KR" that would qualify, that it would not be a KR, in

I got this from the CorvAircraft list. You could argue it's just the EAA's opinion, but here it is: Q & A: Question of the Week Question for EAA Aviation Services: Given that the builder of a plans- built aircraft is listed as "manufacturer" of the aircraft, and that depending on equipment and

The new rules for who can perform annual condition inspections only apply to the new classifications, i.e. Special Light Sport and Experimental Light Sport. And remember that you can only have an Experimental Light Sport if the manufacturer has certificated a plane as a Special Light Sport and

"Or to put it simply, the new rules don't apply to KRs." Wes, If the KR is built strictly to plans I agree it won't qualify as an LSA, but very few are built to plans. I am planning to build my version of a KR2S single place, very light, and have a longer wing. I have no doubt it will meet the

You would basically end up entering a test program very similar to that of a new company to prove that your version was not only a safe version of the plane, but also met the standard set out by the rules. They will not take on "faith" from your recordings, as they do for a normal experimental

How much longer would the wings be??? One of the KR designer rules was NOT to lengthen the wings!!! The spars are not designed for such a load. Do your own engineering on this one, Virg On Tue, 23 Nov 2004 06:34:33 -0600 rhartwi...@juno.com writes: > "Or to put it simply, the new rules

I believe that your FAA briefer was attempting to state that the aircraft cannot have a combination of lift enhancing devices, retractable gear, and inflight adjustable prop, which would constitute a complex aircraft. Flaps alone would not be prohibited because they make approaches safer, they
