Not having seen or flown an Eagle 150B I can only judge by the info and photos on the web. My first impression is NO ! The Eagle is a very refined $120,000.00 airplane with a 125hp Continental engine. The KR probably has less room and is much more primitive looking. I'm also guessing that the handling qualities of the Eagle more closely resemble a certified aircraft than a homebuilt. To the KR's credit, you could save $100,000.00, pick up 30 to 50 mph cruise, and have an aircraft that would more closely reflect your personal identity and preferences. For most KR builders the difference between the two could simply be stated as "REALITY CHECK". Larry Flesner
