Flying is not cheap. Neither is boating, fishing, golf and just about any hobby you try. No matter what engine you pick it will cost between $5 and $8 thousands after all expenses. I believe flying a KR is about one of the least expensive planes you can fly and travel in. I can tell you from my standpoint. I am on my 3 wife (the 3rd one likes flying) and in the last 25 years I have had the opportunity to build 1 KR and own 2 other KRs and have had fun with all of them. I have gotten larger I have moved into bigger faster airplanes. Not a whole lot faster. My KR with an O200 cruised at about 140 knots the one I have now will also cruise at about 145 knots but it is heavy with a big engine EJ22. I had to move into a Cessna 310 to get the room I needed and speed I wanted.

Please fellows, do not degrade the KR. The word to use is, "inexpensive".
