Yes, I have a WW KR2S cowling and almost have it fitted for my KR. The top
is installed and am now installing the pins along the seam.  I will have a
little glass work to do, but that should not be too bad, but. I might
have to sing the sanding song again.

I don't know what the RPM is, because I did not want to run it very long and
cause it to over heat.  I will check that out as soon as I can get the
cowling on it, secure enough to do a full RPM run-up.

Mark Jones flew his for a while with the EFS-2 and said that he got around
28 or 29...  I think.

So it runs fine?  What kind of RPM will it turn with that EFS-2 
carb on it?  You're going to need a cowling if you're going to fly it to 
Barnwell.

Excellent!  So it runs fine?  What kind of RPM will it turn with that EFS-2 
carb on it?  You're going to need a cowling if you're going to fly it to 
Barnwell.  I hope you have one on order!  I talked to Steve Glover last 
night and he said he had something like 15 different cowlings (not sure if 
he meant molds, or "in stock").  I'll bet there's plenty of room under an 
O-200 cowling.  You've probably researched all that stuff though...
