Another case in point about this airfoil.  It may or may not apply to the KR 
but take it as just more information.

When we first bought the Bonanza, of course we wanted to explore it's flight 
envelope.  So, up we went one day and decided to try some stalls.  Power 
came in, nose went up...up...up.  Very, very suddenly we pitched down 
probably 70 degrees and rolled about 60 degrees.................Power off, 
prop full in, left rudder and pull it up.  We both looked at each other 
wondering if the other had hit any flight controls.  Nope.  So, we got smart 
and pulled out the ol POH.  Guess what, No Power on Stalls.

This is a good fast, clean airfoil but it has an very bad bite.  Until you 
experience this airfoil you don't know what a stall is.  On final I stay 
very far away from stall, coming over the fence at 90.

Take this a grain of salt or advice.  You choose.
