Assuming you kept the same span and RAF48 airfoil, the hersey bar would add about 20 percent to the wing area all out at the tips. The initial rate of climb would go up about 20 percent; the top speed would decrease about 20 percent; the roll rate would slow by about 20 percent. The hersey bar KR-2 would tend to get into an unrecoverable flat spin during a departure stall due to blanking the rudder. In short you would have created a two-place Cherokee 140 with a high time engine.
