Kayak, Afraid I don't know of any KRs nowadays operating in this fashion (no electrical system), which is probably why no one responded. Without electrical system, you are hand starting. If engine goes out, you have no inflight capability to restart. Your handheld radio will be very limited in duration.
Staying out of controlled airspace is fairly easy if you don't live near any large airports. I flew without a transponder for years before I installed one. I always used a handheld comm radio myself for a few years as well. But, I always have had an electrical system. If you build your KR with no electrical, I do recommend you build it so you can add this stuff later. At some point you will want it if you end up flying it regularly.

I will try and dig up a summary on what the downsides would be, May be nice to be old school, just a handheld vhf and handheld gps...
