I had 120 hours when I flew my KR the first time. I think the real question is how current are you and are you experienced in a variety of planes including a plane with stick forces similar to a KR such as an RV or ???? If so, then you will know you are ready. However, if you aren't, you need to consider getting time with someone so it won't surprise you when you leave the ground. I've had people actually try to fly their plane, ground loop, fly up to St. Louis and fly with me and then go back and do great. Just be careful, this isn't a 150. If you haven't flown in 5 years, would you get into an F16 and go up for a quick ride?
By the way, I don't know if you are thinking of a KR and starting building or if you already have built one and are ready to fly so I wish you luck in either your decision or flying.
