Jamie, the RV-8 TD would be an excellent plane to practice in. By comparison, the RV has lighter ailerons than the KR, and a bit heavier elevator, although is very quick in both axis. As such, it will provide you with the feel for flying a quick responding aircraft with a light touch, and will put you into something where you have to think well ahead of the plane to get it slowed down for approaches. Those are key points to flying a KR, so IMHO, any of the RV series will provide you with the feel you are going to need to be comfortable in your KR.
