Sounds like a great design, and a pure "KR style" solution. Be sure I will
copy that one day!

Jim,
I built my KR in 1986. My 1835 eng still performs well. I have
double ignitions but no starter. My 8 amp alt. is in the wing with
a small 4 bladed prop that spins it up nicely. My canopy opens
to the side and is held in place by 2 aluminum tubes connected
in the middle by a spring in between the tubes so they stay together when
I
drop the canopy. When I open the canopy a
small overlapping tube slides over the connection to hold the
2 alum. tubes straight. I have a small wire that drops down to
connect to the instr. panel to hold everything solid. Airplane
weighs about 540 lbs and flys well kept light.
