KR> KR-2S cabin width
I'm a 185 pounder and 5'10" high and I fit (with a "cloned " passenger )resonable comfortable in my 40" wide Kr! When I widened my fuselage ,I put back the 40" to the shoulder area.Therefore I had to put back the straight line of the longerons a little ( 10-12 inch). Therby,making the turtle deck was a bit tricky,because it had to be spherical in this area.(due to the slightly curved longerons). Of course the Kr2s is a comfortable single seater also with plenty of storage. I would not recommend to build a "Kr 1 s" because then you will lose the mentioned advantages of a two seater. And finaly ,to build a single seat "Kr1s" with an emty weight of about 400 to 450 pounds is almost impossible. Herbert German Kr2s Von meinem iPad gesendet

...it simply must be modified to meet certain criteria, and the criteria for most folks that are building a two-seater plane is that it be able to seat two people... This is so very true but width is not the only issue. If your tall, I am 6'5", you will need to make it deeper too or you will have to raise the canopy in some way. Early on I made a cockpit mock-up because of my size. I went two inches wider and deeper. I should have gone 4" wider, the depth is perfect for the Dragonfly canopy. Remember it is your airplane so make it fit you. The basic structure is wonderfully adaptable.

While I?m only 5?9? i have wide shoulders. I widened my fuselage to 43? at the outer edge of the upper longerons. Like a glove. I?m crafting everything i can.( some are a learn as you go). I want to buy as little as possible. So modifying is not an issue for me.

ALL KR's are KR1's. Unless you and your "fly buddy" are anorexic midgets, your not going to fit. That is a common issue with airplanes. I do learn a lot from this group about aircraft construction and that is why I am here.

KR> Newbie question - KR-1 or single seat KR-2S
If you are near New England, I can show you a KR2 built to about your specifications - VW 1835 - single seat. ? Paul Derry NH N7970K - Original Message - From: "James Cook via KRnet" To: krnet at list.krnet.org Sent: Tuesday, January 6, 2015 12:51:54 AM Subject: KR> Newbie question - KR-1 or single seat KR-2S Hi all, A new member question here. My primary interest is a single seater, but it seems to me that most of the builders building 2 seaters. Since I am a first time builder, I have to rely more on others advice than more experienced builders, but if there are not too many single seater builders, it would be an uphill battle. The other fact is that the KR-2S have all the latest and greatest improvements in it, so I am thinking to get a KR-2S and narrow down the fuselage to 1 person, build it light with a 60hp or so VW engine. That way I can use the advice of the majority of the builders, I can use prefab parts as available and I can build a LIGHT single seater plane with 400+ lbs empty weight, 800 lbs gross weight as it was designed originally. Is there a downside of my plan? Is there anyone else building along this plan? Thanks, James ___ Search the KRnet Archives at http://tugantek.com/archmailv2-kr/search.
