Hi Neville, It is possible to get a KR2(S) onto the RA-Aus register in Oz - there are a few there already. Keep in mind that the requirement is for stall of 45kts at MTOW in the landing configuration (and presumably at sea level on a standard day - 15C 1013 hPa). There are mods (e.g. bigger flaps, longer wings, winglets, VGs, etc.) that can help meet the stall criteria. Making it as light as possible would help too.
As to why the KRSuper2? You'd have to ask those involved, but I think the fully composite design and the slight scaling up from the 'standard' KR2 might be factors. As far as I know you're right that none have yet flown, but that doesn't necessarily mean the whole thing is a bad idea. Whether one or the other is right for you, only you can say.
