G'Day there Ken. Further development of the KR series has pretty well been what we the builders are about. RR have not exactly been blazing a trail with the development but then since the death of Ken, Jeanette has been chief cook and bottle washer there and I d say that plans develpoment is not exactly high on her list of priorities. When it comes to making the most out what that airframe had to offer, it's up to foresighted people like Mr Langford and the rest of the people here on KRnet. to come up with the ideas, have the intestinal fortitude to pony up the money and time to test and evaluate the modification and finally but probably most importantly, publish the data for replication and verification (It's called the scientific method and it works) In short, the best place to look for revisions, improvements and supplements is right here online. Visit http://www.krnet.org and take the time to read through the builders' sites. Take notes. Cheers. Pete. Ballina Aus.

I think as a new builder it is important not to be insecure or thin skinned enough to let such things bother me. I feel that Ron had not read my previous post or he would have realized that I acquired both my plans sets in a legal and ethical manner, neither have been used to build an airplane yet, and I was trying to do what was right, legal, and proper. As many have pointed out, this KRNet is a forum to exchange ideas that contribute to the better, safer, and sometimes quicker or less expensive ways to build the KR series aircraft and there is no reason to waste space with non-productive comments or sarcasm.That said, I feel the subject is closed and no more discussion is needed. Thanks! Now, one last question- The '75 plans are 64 pages with 1- 17"X22" sheet with fuselage layout on one side and rib layout on the other. The '84 plans are 120 pages in a 3-ring binder and several sheets of blueprints and templates. The difference is like night and day! I was hoping that newer plans might be even better but the info packet I ordered from RR in 2005 lists what I already have with the '84 plans, no more. Does anyone know of any revisions or improvements made to the plans since '84 other than the KR-2S supplements? The $175 listed plans price will certainly not break the bank but that money could buy a lot of T-88! Thanks.
