For those following, I bought a KR2 while over in Afganhistan...
I'm on R&R now, and I flew down to FL to get started on making it
flyable & set up the way I want...

O-290 is a bit big... Fuel burn of a 320 without the HP.
O-290s - specifically the GPU variety converted to aircraft use - were
once used for the 'next size up from a KR' scratch-built birds (T-18,

If your KR is of reasonable weight, 100 hp is plenty of hp to fly
