You could build per plans if you wanted to limit gross weight to something less than 950 pounds and fit into the eLSA rule. This would bring the wing loading into line with the Sonex and Waiex sLSA's. Then you would need to limit prop pitch too, to limit the top speed.
That would probably make it a single place plane for many people though. Denny ...

If you build the KR2 or KR2S per the plans, you will NOT be able to conform to LSA, period. There is too many examples and too much information available about this design to say mine will with no changes. Changing the design as suggested by Jim Ferris will probably result in one that does conform, but then it is not a KR2 or KR2S, but some other derivative (hey you get to name it). Based on my research prior to owning one, and after owning one, I am convinced that these changes would be absolutely necessary. Built to plans, you will be in Experimental Category only, not LSA. I don't want to discourage anyone from building what you want, as we all customize our KR's to our needs and wants, but rather to temper the excited pendulum swing of growth in General Aviation with wisdom of dealing with the FAA. As Brian pointed out, they tend to be more strict in the application of the Regs then most realize when interpreting them.
