I don't know if I am doing this correctly or not. But I am a want-a-be that soloed some years ago but never followed through due to financial considerations with small children etc. Now those considerations are all in their forties and I am approaching retirement at 70. So the itch is coming back. In researching Corvair engine soup up ideas (I own a Corvair) I came across Mark Langford's work and began to get interested in building a KR. I am a professional mechanical engineer, skilled in cabinet making, and own an automobile repair shop and have a complete wood shop in my basement. So I think I have the wherewithal to do the building. But one thing I never see elaborated on is how does one start to build a KR. Where do you buy the plans, or must it be a kit or what? Also for one who has never actually had a license to fly can I master this aircraft after I build it? I understand that I would have to almost start over on the licensing process as it has been 40 years since I have last been at the controls. Any encouragement or discouragement or comments would be welcome.
