Unless one is widening the cockpit ala Langford, Flesner, McHenry, etc.
and modifying the canopy to accomodate the extra width, the KR-2 is not a
two-up airplane except for demo or otherwise very local flights.  Unless
you're a midget with a midget passenger a standard-width KR with standard
canopy is about the most uncomfortable contraption you could imagine with
two people in it - plus the CG is so far back that you are holding
forward stick on final.  

With a standard-width KR with a standard canopy, sitting in the center is
the most logical and comfortable place to sit and if you're going to sit
in the center, a center stick is the logical place to have the stick.
Having two sticks only makes sense if you have room enough for two
people.   

If you're still in the designing stage, think about a side stick.  Ken
Rand had one and there are plans floating around.
