The KR2 is a 7G airplane @ 800lbs. The KR2S has a 3 foot longer wing using the same spars, no comment about impact on g loading. Gliders are not designed to pull anywhere near these g loadings. My body won't either. Extend the wing, don't pile on the weight, use a 1835VW engine, don't pull gray out g's, and enjoy your sport plane. Realize that the high roll rate will also go away.
Of course, unless you live in the midwest, KR2 gatherings will be a loooong flight away.
