Briefly, according to FAA regulations - If you build at least 51% of a KR2S per plans you may apply for certification as an E-AB (Experimental-Amateur Built). As the builder, you may then apply for a "Repaiman Certificate" for that specific plane. That will allow you to do an annual condition

Yes, Steve's original KR-1 had about 1500 hours on it before he sold it. It went through at least three owners after that. The first owner (me) put about 50 hours on it, the second owner (Indiana) didn't fly it, and then the 3rd one (around 1991) was doing some fast taxiing with full aft stick
