Bob beings your KR-2 is in the boat stage up on gear I think your out of luck to get the dimensions needed for the S model unless you do some major splicing of the air frame. Corvair engine is rather desirable for the KR-2. Personally I would start with a KR-2S boat and go tri gear and see if you can find some Diehl wing skins for a faster build. FWIW
