John, These "specs" have not changed from the first KR 2 that Ken built. He had a turbo VW and was getting 180 cruise up high so I guess you can't dispute that number. Realisticly, it depends on the engine used and the aircraft weight and how well it is streamlined. Expect 120 mph on the low end, 140 to 150 average cruise, and up to 180 cruise for the very light and/or big engine KR's. The 200 mph thing is the designer's imposed redline for the aircraft. Sorry there isn't a more exact answer but I hope this helps. If you want speed with yours, build it light and use the largest "practical" engine. Larry Flesner
