I'm your height and weight and have flown a standard KR-2 (original plans) for 15yr. I wish I had built a KR2S, but at the time I built my KR, the S plans weren't published. (In the newsletters, I'd read about guys building stretch versions, but was unwilling to deviate from the plans) To answer your question based on my experience, sure your knees can clear the panel, but after about 45 min in flight, you'll be wishing for about 4 more inches of leg room so you can stretch your legs out completely. A custom seat cushion can help some to increase your comfort. My $0.02, your results may vary. James Babcock N127JB
