I haven't had any experience with the KR-2, but have you considered the
Sonex? It can be plans or kit built. All aluminum, cruise 130 stall 40.
Conventional or tri-gear. I'm in the process of building one now. You can
check out their web site at:

I am not associated with Sonex Ltd in anyway, just my .02
