The undated factory KR2S brochure I have says wing area is 88 sq ft, and the stall speed is 48mph, which I believe converts to 41.7 knots.. That brochure is at least 6 years old. If you used the entire KR2S wing including foam tips, and kept the airplane adequately light, I believe stall speed might be SPORT PILOT-legal.
