I have been following this forum for about a month. In addition, I have read many of the past discussions as well as speaking directly to several KR2 builders/flyers. With this being said, can anyone tell me, in a nutshell, what is the best "version" of the KR2 to build?
For the record, I am considering a KR2S at approx. 16'6" length, widened at the cockpit enough for two adults(I don't know how wide is acceptable), Diehl Wings at approx. 24', retractable gear, extra fuel tanks, two control sticks and rudder pedals with throttle in the middle and a Dragonfly canopy that opens forward. I will try to keep the weight at approx. 640lbs. For performance, I am going to build based on the new Revmaster R-3000 at approx. 110hp which will bolt onto a R-2100 engine mount(according to Revmaster). I might even consider adding a PRSU for added performance. My desired specs are to have 1,000+ mile range and a cruise speed of 175-185 mph at 75%. Based on the infomation I have presented, am I "headed in the right direction". If not, can someone with experience point-me-in-the-right-direction.......... Regards, Steven Youschak
