Not necessarily...
If you get away from the companies rhetoric you will find that the average KR2
has and actual cruise at V# of about 140-145... If you don not build it with
wheel pants use the slightly longer Diehl wing skins and choose your prop
carefully it will make LSA criteria... The key is it has to be built that way
and documented to qualify. I would also placard it prohibiting a "faster" prop
to be safe.
