"Don't crucify me" On this site, especially when it comes to engines?
Since I am going liquid cooled let me give my opinion. Weight is definitely an issue, but so is horse power. I don't care what engine you are interested in, if it is more than 130 hp you should probably be looking at another airframe. The KR airframe just doesn't need that much power and will not get the opportunity to use it except at take-off. Granted, every flight starts with a take-off but it doesn't last that long and then you will spend the rest of the flight with a very throttled back heavy engine. The changes you would need to make to the airframe to use this engine effectively, would result in a KRLancair. I know it is blasphemy to say you can't have too much HP but when it comes to a KR, you can. But, like I said earlier, just my opinion.
