WTF ? OK, I'm rather new here, but is this typical of KR2 builders ? Is this typical of the people who build them ? Sounds like it is typical of Rand Robinson...... Guys, I guess you're not worried about ever selling your plane due to the product liability issues because this type of behavior only hurts the "band" name.... I worked for Mercedes a while back. They understand this. Ever notice how Mercedes here are ONLY loaded leather interior cars with only leather seats and automatics but in Europe you see the same car with a manual and no options ? Well, to the factory every car is specifically ordered. MB-USA ONLY orders fully loaded MB for here to keep the band name synonymous with luxury and quality.... When we have experiences like this, Like RED's response, like Nick is having, it only reduces the value of our own plane / project. If that is what this community is about, maybe it is time to cut my losses and start a different project in the next tax bracket, in hopes it will at least have perceived value to when done. -dave
