Steven,
The best version of the KR-2 is the KR-2S simply because it has more
length. The original KR-2 was designed just a little bit shorter than it
should have been and this created a control problem. The KR2S is just a
stretched out KR-2. Even if you want a single place the KR2 the S would be
the one to build because the KR-1 is only 12 feet long and has she same
problem. You can build the KR2S and just make the fuselage as narrow as you
want it to be taking into consideration your size and how roomey you want
the cockpit to be.
