Can anyone tell me if they feel the rudder size is adequate on the KR,
especially in a heavy crosswind?

I can tell you from actually flying my KR2, stock plans built, that the one
thing you don't need more of is rudder. It has plenty of authority without
being overly sensitive, or in effective at low speeds. I have successfully
landed my KR2 in 25 knot 45 degree crosswinds, gusting to 35 knot (which
puts the 90 degree winds at a total of 18 knots gusting to 25 knots
according to my trusty E6B).
