Lee. I have a standard KR2. with a gear reduction heavy type 4 engine. Todd's Canopy. I have a forward CofG, meaning My Kr2 needs a minimum of a 75 Kg 9165 lb) pilot to fly.
I weight 190 lbs ( 85kg) and have had a 200 lb 6 ft passenger in with me. very tight side ways, but plane flies well. So a KR2S should be OK. If you are making your own, you can cut the canopy to fit yourself.

I'm 6' and 195-200lbs. What's the liklihood that I'm going to be able to get in and close the canopy? I fly a Luscombe now (2 place with 36" wide cabin) so I'm used to close quarters, I'm more concerned about height.
