Larry, When I had my KR-1 (around 400# e.w.), I came pretty close to the takeoff and landing performance as advertised (1700 cc VW), but certainly not anywhere close to 180 mph cruise (125-135 cruise).
Ed Janssen Along the same lines, I sure wish someone would fess up and give the "REAL" performance numbers in advertising the KR aircraft. Takeoff in 350 feet, land in 650 feet, 180 mph cruise, really? Really.............??? I've been to 25 of the last 26 KR Gatherings and have yet to witness such awesome performance. Larry Flesner
