I guess my question > really is what effect is that likely to have on a KR? Yep, you'll need a bellcrank if you want differential ailerons, and the plans version does that. Any kind of bellcranks works though...it's just the geometry of the hole pattern (which I'm sure you know). Frise ailerons work fine too. Either one does the job, but I chose to do a little of both, and it works great, as the only time I need to touch the rudder pedals is on takeoff and during windy landings or a slip. But Larry Flesner will be quick to tell you that the stock differential ailerons work fine too, just like they are, and that the best way to keep the ball centered in a KR is to simply keep your feet away from the pedals, whether straight ahead or in a turn...it works great! There's more on Frise ailerons buried in the page at http://www.n56ml.com/owings.html , but you might get lost in there. I don't recognize the young kid in those photos though...
