Good to hear Larry that you are one of the few decided to put a BRS on the KR2! Have you decided or ordered ur BRS and made preliminary design on how to install the BRS? Also, how would it change the CG and useful load parameters etc....? Can you shade some lights for us whom wanted to do the same? Yes, estimated cost info as well please....
