That is a pretty KR, but if I had it, the first thing I would do, would be
to get rid of that retract gear, and the next thing would be to put in dual
sticks. Nice KR.
I am sure that the covers were not part of the plans, and there is a reason
why the re-design of that gear mechanism took up most
Over the years I have seen this kind of letter from many experimental
aircraft companies before. Few are still with us. Good luck with your
advancement of the KR.

If you think your KR building might be somewhat rude and crude, check out

Hey Steve,
I never listen to the gripes of others because it is too easy to gripe and too
hard to accept and understand or at the very least contact you first. Don't
worry about it. I am sorry you even felt the need to respond to this guy.

I don't think he really means to drop them just use "fake" ones as gas

the biggest factor which is safety of course, I am left with needing to

And then once you'd done that, you'd decide to put in a different engine

Hi Ron,
The same rules apply, it doesn't matter what category the aircraft is
in. If it has been operated outside of the LSA specs, it can no longer

Dual sticks and retracts go together for me. When teaching grandchildren how
to fly, for me it would seem most comfortable to have the throttle in the
center for ease and access to both occupants and the dual sticks so that the
center is free of obstruction for retracting gear. On one of my curr

Because those Cubs, Champs, and Erocups (C model) we within the LSA specs
when they were built. As an example, the later models of Ercoups weigh more
than the LSA limits so they can never be operated as LSA under the c

Hi Dan,
The aircraft you mentioned, with out modification,
have always fit the "LSA" rule. The Cessna 150 fits
the LSA rule save the gross weight. Because of that
it will never be an LSA ruled aircraft. Even if you put it
on a diet. You can only be a virgin once...

Yes, Princeton Probes. You can see them installed in my new tank at:

I also have one in my old header tank which I am willing to sell for a
modest price,
Ron,
The KR and a Cessna 172 are actually both "certified" aircraft. However,
the 172 is certified in the "Standard" category and almost all KR's are
certified in the "E-AB" (Experimental - Amateur Built) category.
