Kacee, I think the estimate on the hours is on the very optimistic side, but how much it will take, depends on how many times you build the same part and how closely you stick to the plans and available parts. The cost is a good estimate. I usually estimate it at around $12,000, but I know that it can be done for much less.
Getting dual is very unlikely, but if you build a tri-gear, you should have no problem at all. However, if you are going to go to all the effort to build a KR, it might also be worth the effort to learn to fly a conventional gear aircraft as the KR is an easy one to master.

I have never built an airplane before and mainly have flown Tri-Pacers, Cessnas and Cherokees for around 500 hours. I think I am of average mechanical ability. What do the people that have built / building this type of aircraft think, am I taking on to much for a first project? The information that I have seen estimates 800 hours of building time and a little over $10,000.00, does that sound correct? How about flying this type of aircraft, would it be necessary for duel instruction in type and is that possible? Thank You Very Much for any input you have to offer!
