If it (the KR2S) has already been accepted under a standard experimental category, it cannot be converted to E-SLA. It would need to meet the SLA requirements and be registered as such from the get go. It is my understanding that you can't "back up" the SLA requirement. Having said that, I have also read that even certificated aircraft that meet the weight and performance criteria of a SLA (Cub, etc.) can be flown by pilots with the Sport Pilot Certificate. So I guess, if the KR2S in question had ever had its' flight criteria certified in excess of the SLA limits, you couldn't fly it as an E-SLA.
Check the FAA web site to make sure. Mark W.

I think that the biggest challenge is likely to be demonstrating a stall speed of less than 45kts (52mph). Then all that's left is to limit the max level speed at sea level to 120kts. Everything else is fine. It seems to me that this should all be entirely possible.

Gents, I know that the KR2S will weigh in under max gross for LSA. Can it qualify 100% so if needed I could convert from PP SEL to Sport Pilot and keep flying a KR2S?
