I am not sure what the glide speed/ratio would be on a KR2S with the AS504X airfoil, but I suspect it would be a slightly higher speed, and a slightly higher glide ratio.
See http://www.n56ml.com/performance/ for aerodynamic testing info on a KR2S with AS5046 airfoils (N56ML), with data carefully recorded and "cyphered". The engine parameters graph on that page is pretty useless, I'll admit, as it was very early data and a very bad way to display it. This is a fairly heavy KR2S, which had a Corvair engine.
I say "had", because now that engine is on the workbench, going back together with a Sport Performance Aircraft front bearing. Progress has been slow on that, due to way too much "life" getting in the way, but I'm making progress.
I've been pretty quiet for the last 10 days....since lightning hit our power pole and fried everything with an Ethernet cable plugged into it, so yet another complication! Apparently I have not been "living right".....
