I understand the KR is uncomfortable but is it that much extra weight to make the wing tanks 10 gallons instead of 5 to give you that extra gas when your on your way to Oshkosh? It takes more time and gas to climb up to 10K for cruising than to just stay there longer. Pee in a cup. (My KR is the size of a C150 so i'll be roomy enough)
