If you want to fly a KR get a PPL. If you have medical problems that is one thing but if you just don't want to go to the trouble to get a PPL you may not be a KR pilot. These are NOT ultralites. If you don't have what it takes to get a PPL you do not need to set your butt in one of these. This IS a high performance aircraft ! Things happen fast and if your to slow for a PPL you are to slow for a KR. Sometimes the truth hurts, deal with it.
