"Or to put it simply, the new rules don't apply to KRs." Wes, If the KR is built strictly to plans I agree it won't qualify as an LSA, but very few are built to plans. I am planning to build my version of a KR2S single place, very light, and have a longer wing. I have no doubt it will meet the LSA standards. I can choose to call it a KR or a KFliver or whatever. Much of the rule refers to kits and factory manufactured aircraft, but I believe the rules also apply to "one-off originals". Here is a quote from the EAA website: "Experimental amateur-built aircraft that meet the definition of an LSA can be flown by sport pilots or those holding higher pilot certificates."
I would appreciate comments from others who have read the rules. Dick H
