plans it calls the stall speed
Most KR's are not as fast as most people think they
are. The VW powered stuff seems to fit into the LSA
rule fairly nicely, the stall speed is still a problem
though.
Look at what Monnett has done with the Sonex ans
Waiex, they are both LSA compliant. Any KR builder can
do the same with his KR. As

There ya go! Limit prop pitch to manage the top speed
without impacting the climb rate negatively (improve
it actually) and you're off and flying.
Anybody flying a KR with a 1320 pound gross weight
limit? Probably not, but a very simple KR2s could be
built to the LSA rule with only a couple of
lim
Many of them already fit the LSA rule and it would be easy to redesign it
to always fit the LSA rule and call it somehing else.

One thing to keep in mind that may preclude a KR from ever being registered in
the LSA category is that the published speed of all KRs is 200 mph. I believe
the upper limit on your LSA category is 130 mph?
Here in Canada we cannot register a 1400 lb aircraft in the Advanced Ultralight
Aircraft
