Some of the original documentation says 800 lbs max for the KR with an
empty weight of 485. Use those numbers and
I've been looking at the sport pilot standard. To be a light sport aircraft
you have to meet the following criteria for an airplane since its original
certification:
1) Max takeoff weight 1320 pounds (600 kg)
2) Max airspeed in level flight with maximum continuous power (VH) of not
more than 120
Wesley,
Put in a 1700cc engine and build it as light as possible and you might get
the stall speed down. No problem getting the VH with that power plant. Don't
even think about it with the bigger engines.
But why not build one that is designed for that in the first place.

Empty weight doesn't make any difference (other than how many sandbags you
put in the second seat during testing) since you have to meet the stall
speed at max takeoff weight.
The wing area needs to be increased by about 30 percent to get the stall
speed down from 59 mph to 45 knots (or since the

Does it not make a difference in the amount of speed you have to carry to
stay in the air?

Actually, if I read the LSA regs right, it doesn't matter, as long as the
gross weight and tyhe stall speed are OK, then it really does not matter how
heavy

You might consider getting the KR1-B motorglider plans and building the
wings a bit shorter to get the stall speed you're
.
