For comparison, my KR-2 weighs 620 lbs empty, has tricycle gear with home made wheel pants (but no fairings), wasn't built super clean (or straight) in general, has a very blunt cowl (with bumps for spark plugs and engine mount), has Diehl wings and is powered by an A65 with a 3 blade prop. All this and it still goes twice the speed of a Cub with the same engine and it only weighs a little less. This is due to less drag, and mine certainly isn't the cleanest KR around.
