One thing you need to keep in mind if you want to do aerobatics in the KR,
or any other plane, is that the G rating is one little piece of the puzzle.
Most KRs meet the G requirements just fine, but the other factors are just
as or more important.

Some things to consider:

Your aerobatic experience.
Your experience with the KR.
The KR is very low drag and accelerates rapidly when nose down, can you
safely do the maneuver and pull out of it before you reach excessive speeds?
Where is your C.G.?
What are the stall characteristics of the particular KR?
Have you spun the plane ane are you comfortable enough with the recovery
that you feel a maneuver gone astray and turning into a spin is recoverable?
Do you know enough that you can figure out the correct entry speeds for the
KR for the maneuver?

These will vary for each plane and pilot.
