Bob, There's lots of unused plan-sets for the KRs out there and you should be able to find a set for a reasonable price, tho maybe not as soon as you would like. You should also be able to get a new set within a reasonable time from Rand-Robinson. I have had three sets of KR plans, none of which I bought from R-R, all of which were in excellent condition when I bought them and NONE of which were ever used to complete a plane. I am against buying plan-sets which have already been used once to build a plane, but that's not what you are interested in. The first set I bought from a guy in my EAA chapter who never even started his KR. About a month later I bought a partially started KR in excellent condition which had a very nice, like-new set of plans with it. The next Spring I bought a crap-load of stuff that a friend had left over from building his KR and it included a nice plan-set he had inherited from someone else who had given up on building his KR. One of these went to Danny McCormick, the guy who bought all my KR parts when I came to England. The other two sets are in storage and I cannot get to them, or I'd offer one to you. Sorry. I've discussed this with Jeanette Rand and she has said simply to send her a note with the serial numbers of the plans and she'll transfer the serial numbers to my name. I know she's not always easy to contact, but she's basically a one-woman shop. I don't want to discuss whether she should turn the business over to someone else, because that's none of my business. The price of the plans is very reasonable and I'd consider buying a set from Jeanette. She may even be able to tell you who originally built the plane you have and give you some details about it. Just don't expect to get her on the first call. There's probably more like me who have extra sets of KR plans and I don't think there's anything wrong with buying a set from them. I'm sure Jeanette would like you to buy them from her, but she's not going to black-list you if you don't, like Nat Puffer would, for instance. I asked him about buying a set of Cozy plans from one of his customers who was not going to build a plane from them. He was not happy with the question and told me I'd have to get the guy who sold the plans to me to give me any support I might need building the plane. Puffer was definitely NOT willing to accept a small fee to transfer the plans to ME, which Jeanette will do FREE. She may not be much of a business woman, but I think she's one of the finest people I've met and you will enjoy knowing her, once you meet her. Good luck with your "new" KR and don't get discouraged. Things will fall into place before long and, meanwhile, you've got a great little plane to play with. Lucky Guy!
