Let be polite when us old timers think someone asks a question that is
beyond reasonable. Dee David (Ms. David?) I'm sure was sincere with the
question based on little or a lack of exposure to KRs. The simple
courteous answer should have been:
Lacks sufficient horsepower by 30% to 50% . For a KR1 with lightweight
weight pilot, MAYBE.
Too light for proper weight and balance
High failure rate compared to 4 cycles
All else being equal a 503 in a KR2 would make it a very poor performing
single place airplane even with a wing extension and lightweight pilot.
While nearly anything can be done with enough effort, (we went to the
moon didn't we?) the simple answer is no, not a good idea.
Any question you don't already know the answer to is not a dumb question.
