No. I am aware of no plans for a mixer to make the ailerons into flaps on a
KR, and I've never seen a KR configured in that manner. Most guys build Belly
Boards for drag now days, Some of us built flaps. And many have none. I flew
my KR without and drag producing devices for 500 hrs as my attitude was that I
could always slip it to land. But the more I cleaned up the drag, the more it
tended to float, and the mroe difficult it was to get it down and stopped in a
reasonable distance. So I added large flaps to it. I love having the flaps,
and very rarely land without them, or take off without partial flaps.
