So with all the knowledge in the group, why do we not do a proper analysis
of the KR aircraft, and dispel or the myths and wrong things said or
printed.

This article, while being a bit dated, is pretty much dead on and has
been a guide to KR builders for many years. The only suggestion in
the article I'm not comfortable with is the "245 mph" low pass
routine. Anything approaching 200 mph is enough to elevate your
heart rate and a considerably more conservative approach to having a
good time. If 200 mph doesn't impress your flying buddies then 245
mph will have them yawning too. A 245 mph low pass puts more stress
on the engine and airframe then I'm comfortable with, but hey, that's just me.
There is a lot of good and valuable info available, you just have to
seek it out. One of the best sources for U.S. builders is to attend
the KR Gathering where you can get all feely touchy with real KR's
and talk to builder / pilots from all across the country. There are
builders around the world so most builders should have a source of
knowledge reasonably close.
See you at the Gathering. www.krgathering.org
