Bobby, As a new pilot (~ 55 hour) who longs for his own plane, it would be very nice to know what you have and what you are asking for it. I'm deferring my decision to buy until after my checkride (CFI says in a week or two, and I'm there) but I'm watching pretty closely, and should have the

I'm in Chico, CA, (KCIC) near Sacramento. I'm contemplating taking over a project from another KRnet member. (Hi Bill!) It's really tough to make a decision without actually having flown in one - is someone here willing to play the advocate for KR2? Or is there someone you could recommend me t

My understanding is that the KR2 is usually too fast for LSA flight, despite doing well in almost every other regard. -Ben On Thursday 29 March 2007, Larry&Sallie Flesner wrote: > At 10:29 AM 3/29/2007, you wrote: > >Can the KR2 be built to qualify as an Experimental light sport aircraft? > >

I'm a 40-ish hour solo student pilot and am contemplating my options for plane ownership. Is there anybody near Chico, CA (KCIC) who would consider meeting up with me, perhaps for an introductory flight? The KR2(S) seems to offer a good combination of simplicity, economy and performance, and th
