Bob,
I have flaps and the rear of my seat is just 1/2” or so off the plywood floor ,
at the lowest point.
The RR canvas sling seat , I use , is hung on an aluminum tube on Adel clamps
at the rear spar. The seat cushion is 2” astronaut memory foam that is quite
comfortable.

I had flaps on my KR and if I did it over again I would’ve never put them on.
Put the speed break underneath like some guys have done. The flap pretty much
does nothing they’re so small. I test flew five KR’s back in the day they all
had flaps and then none of them did anything to speak of.

Bob,
I wouldn't worry about the taller canopy affecting airflow over the
tail. My KR is longer but I have a rather tall canopy and standard tail
surfaces, no problem.
Hi Larry;
Thanks for the info;
I was out at my hanga
What I am wondering is, if I raise the turtledeck and canopy, fairng in the
area between the front deck and canopy frame to streamline and be pleasing to
the eye, do I have to do anything to the rudder and horizontal stabilizer to
reflect the added 3-4 inches of height of the turtledeck?

Hi All;
I know there has been some discussion on this previously and I did look in the
archives. I found some info but just want to clarify a couple of things. I was
worried about the canopy height on one of my projects and decided to measure
the height on both projects I have.

Ross indicated that he test-fitted his cockpit and canopy wearing a bike
helmet. The KRs I've sat in (and I'm 5'-10") were snug to the top of my
head just with a headset on. With a helmet- no way.

I would be too afraid to have someone put a bubble level on my head and find
out how unlevel I really am!

RE: How high is the average turtledeck for someone my heigth? How to test.
Are you building a 2 or a 2S? I am 5' 8.5" tall and I had a serious head
room problem with my first KR.
Are you using a pre-molded Turtle Deck?
You should decide what kind of seats you want to build and do that first.
