Interesting! I have a friend who has a Franklin Sport 4 engine for sale ( 400 hours on it ). Always thought it would be too heavy for a KR2S. He was building a Vision composite aircraft but recently gave up the dream due to age. Believe he only wants $3500 for it. If anyone is interested, please contact me. Thanks Chris Gardiner
