Mark, Why not go al the way and just produce and sell the airplanes instead of the planes. It seems the LSA market is hopping, but full of overpriced airplanes. Since your talking economy and with the relatively inexpensive cost of building the current (KR2) versions you could probably produce flyable airplanes for less than half the lowest priced LSA on the market so far, and still make a good profit on each airplane. Just a thought :)

I will not offer anything for sale until the plane is built and thoroughly test flown though. I've been spending my nights in England refining the concept, and am now working out the aerodynamics. I'm also incorporating what I've learned from the modifications that I and others have made and flown, and will make sure it is LSA compliant so I can fly without a medical in the future if necessary. This may sound funny, but my emphasis with this one will be economy, not speed, especially given LSA top speed limitations. I don't want to go into any more details, because there are some folks on this list who will copy my intent, so please don't ask. I'm not sure how long it will be before it flys, but it'll be considerably quicker than I built the last one!
