I'm building the KR-1B/-1 (both sets of wings) with fixed gear. Specs (per plans) are: Empty weight 484# Gross wt 800# Vne 144 mph Max Cruise 130 mph Maneuvering speed 120 Max Spoiler Flap extension speed 100 mph Stall Spoiler Flap Extended 45 mph Stall Spoiler Flap Retracted 38 mph
Not having the LSA figures at hand, I THINK the KR-1B would qualify. But that's my un-researched opinion. Things like extending the landing gear speeds are NA as, like I said above, I'm building it as a fixed gear bird. Hope this helps.

My guess would be that it would depend on the FAA inspector but I can't see how any KR could qualify in the stall speed category. Personally I think that building a KR to fit LSA requirements would be a daunting task at best. Probably easier to just get a medical and fly under the old rules or look into a different aircraft.
