Oh, and I had not mentioned it in the past few months so I will mention it
again.  Anyone that wants to do any mods to their plane for better
performance needs to get a copy of "Speed With Economy" by Kent Paser.  Ken
spent many years doing small mods to his plane and meticulously doccumented
the results he got.  He increased the top speed on his Mustang II by 64 MPH,
cruise speed by 50 MPH, climb by 800 FPM, and reduced economy cruise fuel
burn by 50%, all without putting in a bigger engine.  Nearly all of his mods
can be done to a KR with similar results.  I could not recommend it any
higher.

I though of trying it, but I don't have a flying KR at the moment.  I
planned on using some plastic T shaped stock that is available at hobby
stores and putting it on temporarily with double faced tape.  I plan on
doing it on my M1 one of these days when I get a chance.

I think it is worth giving it a shot with the cheap temporary method, but I
would not expect to get spectacular results.  The KR already has a very low
stall speed and really good low speed flying characteristics, especially for
the cruise speed it has.
