Adding wing span will reduce the stall speed. Reducing HP and increasing drag will reduce cruise speed. However, remember the short coupling problem when increasing the wing span. I highly suggest a longer fuselage than even the KR2S. Then you can call it a NKR2SS, not a KR2S, but super stretched. Now it is your design.
