I’ll chime in. My KR2S is the standard S dimensions. I also have the RAF airfoil and Revmaster VW engine. It now has about 870 hours on it. I have flown a KR2 (Terry Chizek’s) and really did not have too difficult of a time flying it, but the S is definitely a little better handling. Mine is a Trigear, so that may also be contributing to my success in handling her without any accidents or problems. I have flown quite a few Young Eagles and they never seem to have any problems learning to fly it, long as the turbulence is light.
