KR> experimental or lsa
Did you see that EAA and AOPA is pushing for the "Recreational" pilot to have the same privileges, so LSA may become mute. See N64KR at http://KRBuilder.org - Then click on the pics See you at the 2011 - KR Gathering in Mt. Vernon, Il - MVN There is a time for building and it never seems to end. Daniel R.

What is on the airworthiness determines if an aircraft meets Light Sport Aircraft specs. Generally, if it says KR it's kinda red flag, cuz the KR's are known not meet LSA spes, the EAA has a list of aircraft the meet the specs. But if the builder gets to have a say so what is on the airworthy certificate, and it meets LSA- then it can be flown by a LSA pilot. The airplane does NOT have be certified LSA, just meets the criteria Big John Sevierville, TN > > > > ___ > Search the KRnet Archives at http://www.maddyhome.com/krsrch/index.jsp > to UNsubscribe from KRnet, send a message to krnet-le...@mylist.net > please see other KRnet info at http://www.krnet.org/info.html >

Hi guys; I'm looking at a std. kr-2 W/ a 1835 vw, tricycle landing gear, no flaps. no speed brakes,standard. air foil. Not quite done. Wings need to be attached, inside finished,etc. It has not been certified as airworthy, but it was started as a experimental. Can that be changed to LSA with some mods if done before airworthy certification. I'm new at this so bear with me. The KR gathering was great. The shory flight Rob took me on was great. (thanks Rob) Bob Benson Ph.(903) 882-8686 Thanks
