Unless you come in under about 525 empty a 65 horse is not enough. I am one that believes more hp more speed. I built my kr for speed. Weighed 480 at first flight. 1836 65hp. Then 2180 75hp. After 6 engine failures ( i ran them wide open) i went with a cont 85 broke a crank. Went with an O200. Should have done that from the beginning. I know have les palmers weigh in at 950 and has a sub ej22 will cruise at 160 mph top out at 185 mph level flight have had it to 215 mph.
