I think you are correct Kevin. I regard my plans as a guide and an education. In the seventies I could not afford the plans alone so bought them with a partner. In the eighties we built two planes and in the nineties another. I acknowledge that the KR plans were a wonderful education and inspiration. All three planes were modified enough to make them original and I feel that the cost of the plans was for my education. The technology used by Rand was heavily borrowed but used in a unique way such as what we are doing. I wonder if Rand paid or solicited serial numbers or permission from the Wright bros., Rutain, Alvarez and dozens of others who paved the way. Do we need permission from VW or Corvair etc. Buy a set of plans where ever you may and build the darn thing. The main purpose of this KR net as I see it, is to share OUR OWN inovations and modification. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Golden, Kevin" <kevin.gol...@churchdwight.com> To: "KRnet" <kr...@mylist.net> Sent: Friday, January 20, 2006 12:04 PM Subject: RE: KR> buying KR plans
