It seems to me, if you can afford 20k to build your plane based on the KR Design (in other words, you need the plans to get started), you can certainly pay the plans fee to the company to which you referenced said plans.
This notion of - I'm prepared to spend 20k to build my plane, I just don't want to spend the one (1) percent to get started - is clearly prevalent among this group. Larry A Capps Naperville, IL "Stealing one persons work is called plagiarism Steal many peoples work is called research" -----Original Message----- Not being a lawyer I do not know for sure but it would seem to me that if a plan is used to build a second airplane and there are many modifications as there are on almost all KR aircraft built, then it's not a KR but the plans were used as a guide for only a part of the building. What percentage of deviation form the plans would have to be made in order to have the aircraft legaly considered to be not a KR aircraft.
