I tried that very same thing, for me it didn't work out at all..a KR has a tight interior and the stick coming over your leg not only makes it hard to get in and out, but you would have to make it tall enough to not hit your leg during maneuvers. Check out Mark Langfords site. Awesome dual stick.

The Tailwind has a center stick but the top is bent into a "U" shape and the end of it winds up in at the lap level of a pilot in the left seat, placing it where a dual stick would be. That way someone in the left seat can fly it with the right hand on the straight part of the stick or the left hand on the bent part of the stick. This idea could also work on a KR if you made it removeable or able to rotate so you could get in easily. If I build a KR (and I'm looking for a KR-2 project at this point), I'd prefer the simplicity of a single stick and this would eliminate one of the disadvantages.
