I flew the prototype KR II with Ken Rand at Meadowlark airport when I was 
instructing a few times.  It was very light if I recall properly, very sparse 
instruments, seems like once he had a photo of a radio on the panel :-),  
Interior was just a seat pad, nothing fancy at all, but I'm sure if built today
would 
be heavier for same reasons all of yours are "this is only a pound, this is 
only 3 pounds" etc.  Ken flew R/C models, and knew how much weight made a 
difference in flying qualities.
