The fuel burn on a 2 stroke is a lot higher than the VW/Cont.. Plus, you have to carry 2 stroke oil when travelling..

A zippy little plane, you can Google it, but the problem is that the 2-strokes are quite a bit lighter than any of the 4-strokes that are typically employed on KRs so it would require a longer engine mount and cowling for W&B.? Probably not as exaggerated as Mike Ladigo's turbine engine powered KR, but longer than a VW or Corvair mount.
