So I have decided to build an airplane. I have always liked the KR, ever since
I was a kid reading GliderRider. I have been a VW guy as long as I'm alive.
Here's my problem-I'm 6'3" 280#. I have seen a 2S for sale (I think on EBAY)
that was listed as having a 48" wide cabin! Is that possible? If
G'day Dave.
You are as tall as me, but about 100Lbs heavier. I manage to fit in a
bog-stock KR2 but I fly(flew - before the gear retracted on landing) in
socks, no shoes.
Just going by your figures, you would be very close to a 1200Lb Gross
Weight, assuming a 600Lb Empty weight, which is difficul

Dave,
My KR has as much room in it as a GP-4. My Mustang II was 40 inches.
None of these little airplanes are going to be as roomy as your 172
simply because you sit so close to the floor in them instead of
sitting up on a seat. Bobby

Does that guy have a website? I love the canopy and turtle deck. Is there
anymore information on what modifications he made? How much he stretched
it, widened it? It looked a bit taller as well.

Robin:
I concur with your comments completely even though I wish to move the fuel
to wings except for a small header tank so as to remove most of the fuel
from the cabin area.
I want a craft with good range with room for two and working on getting a

I'm surprised that no US builders consider the Jabiru 2200 engine
Colin Hales in the UK built G-BSTL with a Type 1 VW, canned it in favour of a
Type 4, junked that too and eventually settled on the Jabiru 2200 which weighs
60kg (132lbs) all in with starter etc. It's putting out 85hp and hi

If I had the money, that is exactly what would be on my plane, or maybe the
3300. It is just too expensive. I am sure that it is worth every penny, but
when there are VW and Corvair available for 1/4th the price, it is hard for
most builders to justify.

Can't deny that point!
Having to save up for it myself infactnot going too well right now but
I've got plenty other work to be getting on with - got no wings yet!!!
I don't really see myself as having much option here in the UK though as the
900lb gross weight is strictly enforced and t
