Out here there is not a lot to distract us from the task of building our first plane together
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Good Luck Pete (& Sarah) I am sure you have already done this, but if not, research the mods that are most popular before you start. After many months of doing exactly that, for what it is worth, I believe that a KR2S with the cockpit widened to 39" (or so) and the fuselage stretched something like 4" ahead of the main spar and AT LEAST 14" aft of the rear spar makes for a near perfect and very cost effective 2 seat airplane. These mods are relatively simple and have no negative impact on the design intergity (strength) of the fuselage. The do impact on factory supplied canopy and deckings. There are tons of other mods including the updated with section, better hinges for the tail feathers etc. - then a thousand engine options ranging from Rotary, through Veedub to Vair, or a regular certified motor - even a turbine if you wish. You will have ample time to consider these in the months (years) ahead. The mods mentioned above happen in the early stages of building and need a decision before you start.
