I'm about 5ft 10 (lost an inch after back surgery a few years ago), and I have enough leg room. My inseam is 32". Whether you stretch it probably depends on the engine you plan to use. See the message below that I posted two weeks ago: ================================================== You can modify a KR in many ways, but adding legroom has its limitations! Mine is "stock KR2S" in front of the main spar, and with the Corvair hanging up there a half an inch from the firewall (and no header tank), my CG is at the forward end of the range. Not that there's anything wrong with that (it sure makes it stable), but if I added 2", 4", or another bay, I'd have to have 30 pounds of lead in the tail (and my backup battery is already back there).
