Matt,

Yes, I used the Aircraft Spruce KR2 canopy on my KR2S.  Photos are on my web 
site on the "Finishing" page, but I didn't note a lot of detail. I installed it 
exactly per plans instructions.

2.  I don't think there would be a huge disadvantage with the KR2 canopy 
regarding drag.  It is definitely physically smaller than the others and is 
better suited to small pilots and passengers. I am small at 5'5" and it works 
for me and passengers less that 5'10".  But when scratch building the aft deck, 
you can always build higher - but you get more drag.


3. Sorry, can't help on that.

Subject: KR> Canopy Choices

Hey all, I?m about ready to purchase a canopy and get the top half of this boat 
shaped. I really like the way those Dragonfly canopies look, but they don?t 
seem to be available anymore. Three questions:
1. Has anyone used the Aircraft Spruce KR2 canopy, and do you have pictures? 
What about other options?
2. The original canopy looks like it would cause excess drag due to the abrupt 
angle change where it meets the forward deck. Is this a valid reason to choose 
a different canopy, or is the performance difference probably too small to 
notice?
3. Does anyone have a canopy they want to get rid of? I know a guy who?s 
looking for one? :)
