John Scott, Thank you for the numbers.
I do want you to know that you KR, N1213W looks so good that I have had it's picture in view on my board for sever months for inspiration. Great paint job too. I am a long time pilot but not a KR-2 owner (yet). From what I read, it seems to fly like any good high-performance single engine - and for a reasonable price. I was wondering (and others may be interested too) what engine and prop provided your altitude - performance figures?
