Steve all your statement rings true but I read somewhere a while back = where a retired airline pilot had lost his medical and while waiting for re-certification (medical problems to subside) he built a Europa motor-glider to circumvent the regs. In this particular case I would say = go for it BUT in all other cases I would have to say that a gun is quicker = and a hell of a lot cheaper if you want to commit suicide. This design is definitely not for the faint of heart or a non pilot. Several builders = have now refined the original design to where they are able to fly hands off = at cruise and are rock steady in most flight maneuvers BUT this was with = mucho time and effort and a lot of changes to the design laid out in the = plans.

If you want to fly a KR get a PPL. If you have medical problems that is = one=20 thing but if you just don't want to go to the trouble to get a PPL you = may=20 not be a KR pilot.
