5ft4!!!... oh dear, from the pictures I've seen he doesn't have at least 4 inches of headroom (except for the open cockpit version ) Maybe I will investigate another design, waiting on a response from FD first though.
Thanks for everyones help, Matt.

So is there a particular reason why the KR-1 isn't permittable? I didn't realise there was a Sonerai 1 in this country! Is there a Wittman V-witt hiding here too!?

The Luciole looks nice, what is the cruise speed for it? The KR-1 is quoted at being 180mph (maybe this is optimistic but it still seems good even if generous) Also how difficult is the translation of the plans, I did GCSE French but I don't know how well that will stand me...

Hi Steve, Im looking for a plane that I can go long distances in, thats one reason that puts me off the VP-1. After reading up about small single seaters it seems that the KR-1 has one of the higher cruise speeds on a VW as well as seeming cheap and easy. I would like to build the plane myself prefe...

Thanks for the responces, I dont have the room to build a KR-2 and I dont have the funds to build 2 KR-1's.... Should I look more towards the aluminium or wood/fabric designs, I just thought in my limited experience that the composite over wood construction looked the simplest to built for a beginne...

The CX-4 looks a nice aeroplane however I was wanting to do something in composites. IF the KR-1 isnt approved, is it because no-one has built one before or that it couldnt get a permit?

I am looking for a plane to build in a fairly small garage and the Rand KR-1 seems to fit the bill, however Im suprised that there seems to be a lack of them flying in the world whereas its big brother the KR-2 is one of the most popular plans built aircraft... Is there a fatal flaw in the KR-1 or i...
