Hi guys:
I am also contemplating a kr-1, but I am 6' tall and 240 lbs and 22"
across the shoulders. I was considering Building a KR-2S so I can Take my
wife up, she assurs me that divorce by airplane (DBA) wont happen if I make a
seat for her. But I Thought the KR-1 would be a better project to use as a
start, with a 2180 VW. After the bugs were worked out in the building process,
I feel a 2 would be on the agenda. Any comments? I have been monitoring the
krnet for quite a while, and I dont hear too much from guys my size.
Best regards,
Bart Ransom.

Yes and no!! If you already have the plans for a KR1, deal with that. I
would suggest adding two feet to the lenght of the fuselage, putting in a
side stick control so that you could sit directly on the floor to give you
more headroom, You'll have to glass up the floor for strenght and you still
may have to raise the canopy a bit, tho this might ruin the clean lines of
the plane. Also tilt the seat back a few degree more so that the headroom
increases. No on the 1600 engine. If you have that engine, it is a suitable
start,...converting to 1835cc. Are the KR2 plans that much more expensive
than the KR1? Better go in that dirextion and narrow the fuselage down to
size desired. 205 lbs.?? Shoot, taint nutt'n! Good luck
