Most KR's are not as fast as most people think they are. The VW powered stuff seems to fit into the LSA rule fairly nicely, the stall speed is still a problem though.
Look at what Monnett has done with the Sonex ans Waiex, they are both LSA compliant. Any KR builder can do the same with his KR. As I recall, to use the stock KR2s wing you would have to limit your gross weight to something like 950 pounds to meet the criteria that Monnett uses for His planes. It can be done, but, do you want to put up with the LSA limits imposed by such an approach.
