I have a stock KR2, I look at it is a comfortable single seater for long trips which I can take passengers for a short flight (no more than an hour). When I'm in it alone I have my flight bag on the passenger seat (with it's handle through the seat belt) and rest my elbow on it, just perfect and I can reach charts, etc, easily.
I originally thought I would change from centre stick to dual between the legs sticks (because that is what was use too), but now I will leave my KR2 with a centre stick. Like Mike, I just rest my hand on my leg. The centre stick makes it easier to get in and out of than a dual stick setup. I can fly right or left handed as I can reach across my body with my left hand quite comfortably, have done so while selecting frequencies, sorting out the #&%&*^ GPS, writing running log, etc (wouldn't want to land that way :-). Other considerations are ease of build and weight, every gram/ounce counts. My 2 cents worth. Regards Barry Kruyssen k...@bigpond.com http://www.users.bigpond.com/kr2/kr2.htm
