NetHeads, On occasion, the subject of cockpit width comes up. I was surfing around a little today and stumbled across the data that Ron Wanttaja used in the Kitplanes article that I've referred to before, which shows the KR2 has the least amount of hip room and shoulder room of any of the 50 airplanes (mostly) homebuilt airplanes he surveyed. The RR KR-2 says (custom) next to it, and if I remember correctly from that May 1996 article, "custom" means it was already widened over the plans width! See http://www.wanttaja.com/avlinks/cockpit.htm for the gory details of how tight it is. Few of us claim a hip width of 15.75", although I probably do. And as a side note, the KR2S is exactly the same width as the KR2, so keep that in mind.
