To the point: How high is the seat bottom from the fuselage floor? You might be able to get some room by lowering the seat.
Sid is on to something. A friend has a KR2 with a dragon fly canopy, but your head is crammed toward the center. The problem is the seat is to high. It is great seat, just to tall. On the my KR I have the plans built sling seat and canopy. I lowered the sling seat by changing the attach point to where they just clear the torque tube for the flaps. It will give me enough head room to be able to comfortably fly the plane.

Sid Wood Tri-gear KR-2 N6242 Mechanicsville, MD, USA ---------------------------------------------------- G?day All ? As a first time user of this page and a new owner of a KR2 (purchased eight months ago) and having flown some five hours in my retractable taildrager I am searching for information on the KR2 canopy. I have found it comfortable but not visually stimulating sitting in the cockpit of a KR2 and would hope that someone has a suggestion to at least raise the canopy to increase the seating height. In my opinion raising the canopy some hundred millimeters (four inches) would be around the mark. I am open to all suggestions or direction. Found the webb page interesting.
