I am designing (stealing ideas) for a plane using KR construction that
would fit within the Sport Pilot rules. It will be single place, Hershey
Bar wing, Diehl gear. I am trying to keep it as simple as possible, so
it will be VFR with only basic gauges and probably open cockpit to begin
with. I know this goes counter to what most are trying to
achieve--better performance, but this is the beauty of the KR
construction--you can make the plane fit your needs. I purchased KR2S
plans and they will be my guide. I would like to talk to people who are
flying KR's with straight planform wings--what airfoil did you use and
what are the stall and cruise numbers.
