Thanks again everyone for all of your help. I know that I am getting closer to buying my KR. It might just happen before Christmas, which is what I've been shooting for. Just as I think I'm getting closer, I seem to run into another snag. But your help has always seemed to provide the right answers.
I did check with my flight instructor here on the training requirements for his to teach me. Although I've seen KR's with dual stick, I'm not sure if there is one with dual pedals. If not, is this a modification that can be made without too much expense and damage to the airplane. The reason I ask is because my flight instructor says he will not get in the plane without full dual control. The quandary I have is that there are no planes for flight instruction here. Everyone has their own plane, or has taken the months to move into Anchorage to learn how to fly. The people who've done this are students who are planning careers as commercial pilots. I can't move into Anchorage to learn how to fly. I really don't want to buy a C150 just to learn how to fly. What I really want to do is buy a KR2 or similar modern plane and learn how to fly it. I'd been looking at the Varieze but have discovered that they have no provision for dual control either. In addition, the Varieze doesn't seem to have the member-user base of the KR planes. So, what do you have in mind? Can I buy a KR and then have it adapted with full dual control? While we are on the subject of KR2 training, can someone explain the FAA sport license proposal. How will it be different from the standard private pilot license? Thanks in advance for all replies. Thomas
