I made a template from my Diehl un-stretched tail-dragger gear legs.

With my 24 inch fuselage stretch, 30 inch Diehl legs, and what I think
is a rather tall tail wheel assembly, I can not "full stall" the KR on
landing without the tailwheel hitting first. Not a comfortable
touchdown. I always do wheel landings. I have 3 pointed a time or two
by accident in a no wind condition when I held it off too long and it
settled on all three. I could probably never duplicate that if I
intended to.
I think the 24" leg is probably good for standard KR2 but I'd go with at
least a 26" leg on the 2s. Depending on the height of the tail wheel
assembly on the 2s I'd even be tempted to go 27" or 28" legs.
Check out some photos of the KR's like Roger Baalman, Chris Pryce, Jeff
Scott before he sold it, mine and others and see what you think. If it
looks right, it flies right.
As always, YRMV.............
