Henni, I wish you the best of luck but there are reasons it (your ideal KR) has not already been built. There are some laws of physics you will have to sneak around or crawl over. More passenger room means more airplane which means more weight. Small field operation means more power or more wing which means more weight. Stall below 40 mph = more wing = more weight. Two up with no CG problems on such a small aircraft will be tricky. High cruise speed with more wing and low horsepower (to accomplish the above) will be a challenge. I hope my observations are not too discouraging. You may have the ideas to accomplish your goal. Give it a shot........... Larry Flesner
