You know that's all well and good, and I'm certainly hoping Steve's still willing to do what he does when the time comes that I need some of his products, but at the same time, if someone new to the community asks an inappropriate question (and to my mind Kyle's question wasn't entirely out of order - three weeks is a long time to go without even an acknowledgment, especially if you don't know the business you're dealing with), is it really appropriate to be saying "we don't want you building a KR"? Steve's obviously under a lot of pressure to be responding to customers in that way.
Kyle, don't take this experience as representative of how members of the KR community are normally welcomed.

I say "service to the KR community" because given the efforts to fulfill orders, overhead and cost of materials, there is little or no profit in it. I (volunteer) assist him on a part time basis in exchange for him imparting onto me the skills necessary to build safe aircraft. I get to witness the trials and tribulations of getting orders filled for buyers. As if running one and a half businesses, providing technical support to builders and running around gathering materials/tools for kit/part orders and building the parts was not enough, he/we took on the task of preparing for and hosting the 2014 KR Gathering..... mostly because of his/our enthusiam for KR's. Steve has overcome quite a few obstacles in preparation for the gathering and has done so in an effort to make this gathering successful, memorable and comfortable for all of us. He has planned and coordinated the workshops that required extensive amounts of time, effort and material gathering to increase KR builder's skill level. He battled with the airport administration for the camp ground, he coordinated the awards and the site for the banquet, he sampled caterers, we have worked on available KR aircraft to prepare tem for the formation flight around So. Cal. etc etc.. Based on the intensity and amount of work he has gone through over the last few months, Steve has been quite modest ... and as such he hasn't complained even once about leaving his regular jobs at the end of the work day to tend to Hangar and Gathering demands til 11:00 pm almost every day for the last few months. Im proposing that we cut him a break and perhaps offer to lend a hand... If you've placed an order please consider just having a little more patience for the moment. If you are not planning to come to the gathering, please re-consider & make an effort to attend. This KR Gathering is expected to be memorable and we would be elated to have you here. At the few gatherings I've been to I've experienced a strong sense of comradery and enthusiasm as well as a very important sharing of information about building. If you can fly in or drag a KR to show or sell, that would be better. I use Kayak.com for good deals on airline tickets. Below are a couple of short video about past gatherings. https://vimeo.com/50813916 https://vimeo.com/50812971 Marc Baca East Los Angeles N13UG KR-2 N31SB KR-1 On Friday, August 29, 2014 10:57 AM, Steve G. via KRnet <krnet at list.krnet.org> wrote: You know. I don't think we want you as a builder. I will be refunding you money and be canceling your order.
