These aircraft perform very well and are very attractive due to their low cost. Exoectatiins should be reslistic as, if built heavy albeit well built along with bells & whistles ir a combination, it'll need a certain amount if thrust to maintain level flight and then an excess of power to either generate a climb, ideally a healthy & safe climb for circumstances or, reduce AoA to result in a faster airspeed in level flight.
A small VW relies on a light aircraft, best suited to KR-1 perhaps. I've flown a GP 1835 and you'd be hammering it at a high power setting most of it's life reducing engine life & reliability, especially if it's heavy. No replacememt for displacement as them gifted cousins know.

Does the website freerchobby have motors greater than 25 KW. 45 KW seems to be the magic numbers from my calculations to get a KR-2 aloft. and buz around.
