Thanks to all who provided me some insite into the KR LSA questions that I had. I believe my best choice and best bet for getting into the air under the LSA rules would be to go with a plane like the Sonex or the 601XL.
I do still like the KRs though (also the corvair power plant) and it might be that I would build one after more experience with flying and building. Thanks again, Kenny -- Jesus, who do you say He is?!?! John 3:16
