I for one like the story very much even if it has nothing to do with
building a KR.

Ron,
The KR and a Cessna 172 are actually both "certified" aircraft. However,
the 172 is certified in the "Standard" category and almost all KR's are
certified in the "E-AB" (Experimental - Amateur Built) category.

Yes, Princeton Probes. You can see them installed in my new tank at:

Hi Dan,
The aircraft you mentioned, with out modification,
have always fit the "LSA" rule. The Cessna 150 fits
the LSA rule save the gross weight. Because of that
it will never be an LSA ruled aircraft. Even if you put it
on a diet. You can only be a virgin once...

Because those Cubs, Champs, and Erocups (C model) we within the LSA specs

than the LSA limits so they can never be operated as LSA under the c

Dual sticks and retracts go together for me. When teaching grandchildren how
to fly, for me it would seem most comfortable to have the throttle in the
center for ease and access to both occupants and the dual sticks so that the
center is free of obstruction for retracting gear. On one of my curr

Hi Ron,
The same rules apply, it doesn't matter what category the aircraft is
in. If it has been operated outside of the LSA specs, it can no longer

And then once you'd done that, you'd decide to put in a different engine

things apart and put

My Kr has never flown, but has gotten everything needed. This includes its

That is a pretty KR, but if I had it, the first thing I would do, would be
to get rid of that retract gear, and the next thing would be to put in dual

I am sure that the covers were not part of the plans, and there is a reason
why the re-design of that gear mechanism took up most
