Colin, I agree with you that there are plenty of other planes out there to build, leading to an E-LSA category, however, for those who REALLY like the KR design and building cost, I doubt whether there would be any modification/re-designing necessary. We mostly read about the higher performance KRs on this net, but there're quite a few KRs out there experiencing maximum speeds of 138mph or slightly under, depending on engine and prop config. If a builder really wants to go the ELSA route with a previously unregistered and uncertified KR, it appears that it could be done rather easily, regardless of the performance figures found in the R/R literature.

The question was why modify and go through all the trouble when there were already so many designs approved and ready to build, with less effort, and all the documentation already done. There is enough that gets re-made, or corrected on a standard KR to keep a builder busy for a few extra years without complicating things with fitting into a new category. > Your choice.
