Be careful buying a temporary ride while you build a KR2(S). I did that about 2 1/2 years ago. Since then I've flown nearly 250 hours in the 'temporary' ride and spent less than 10 hours on the KR2S. Admittedly there have been other things in the way as well, but counting flight planning, maintenance, travelling to and from the airfield, etc., there's several hundred hours that could have gone into the KR2S.
