Thomas, I disagree with the posts, discouraging you from learning in a KR. If you have an instructor who is willing and capable, I can think of no better way to learn.
The problem that you are going to have is finding the right KR. Most KR2 are really KR1+1. By that, I mean that they are good for one person and another that is fairly small, or, not even more than 1. You will need dual stick, which is also somewhat rare, but could be easily corrected, well, nothing is easy. If you could have gotten N4DD, and put dual stick in it, that would have been a good plane as it could easily handle 2 people. And, yes, the engine does have something to do with it, so does the quality of the airfoil and airframe, and most important, the CG. The CG could be corrected, but again, nothing is easy. For $14,000, I see no reason, why you cannot find a suitable plane. How are you going to know if it is suitable?? That is the big question. N64KR Daniel R.
