I don't know of one, but Richard Shirley has a 3300 Jabiru on his KR-1, which is essentially the same power, but lighter. Some weight in the tail would be required, and the wing loading would be high, and landing speed correspondingly higher than with a lighter engine. But that's essentially what I plan on doing, with more wing area and a longer tail to tame pitch sensitivity. Loads of fun would be assured, as well as 200 mph plus, straight and level. Steve Trentmans's turbine KR-2T has flown plenty, but it's a gas-guzzler, at something like 12 gph. There are details from Steve at http://www.n56ml.com/strent.html, and also in one of the Pine Bluff gathering sites on www.KRnet.org. Mark Langford ML at N56ML.com http://www.n56ml.com
