> Ed > You missed MY point when I stated that I am referring to an UNMODIFIED KR is the same as a completed KR already certified. That is my point. If you build the KR2 or KR2S per the plans, you will NOT be able to conform to LSA, period. Colin, Well, I guess we won't know for sure until someone actually tries it. I didn't restrict my comments to just KR-2s and KR-2Ss. It would certainly be a real challenge for a KR-2 or KR-2S to built as such; but I WILL say, having owned and flown two different KR-1s, I DO know that a KR-1, at least, can be built per plans and equipped light enough (almost nobody does this anymore) to perform within LSA parameters. Now, whether the FAA will agree to certify it as an E-LSA, is the question. At the moment, not all FAA reps. are up to speed on the new ruling, so a builder has to be careful how and who you talk to until time works out most of the concerns . Ed
