My son and I have purchased a partially completed KR2, at least we have made two of a total of four payments. We are extremely excited but minimally informed on the process of building a plane. I have looked through the RR plans binder and my first question was: is there such a thing as a checklist or order of precedence that can lead the owner/builder from start to finish? My second question was: is there a "quality" checklist in which I can meaure or otherwise determine that I have built the part-I'm-working-on right? I have shot off an email to Larry Capps to find out how to buy the CD of KR newsletters, but I kind of think of them as potential bonus material versus "need to have" documentation like I mention above. A final question is about the actual plans. The binder I got as part of the sale of the partial plane has yellow pages, but no date in it anywhere although it says it is book #65. This leads me to wonder if RR has published any updated plans based on more current technology? I plan to contact RR about this question and don't mind paying for a new set of plans if they are "better" than the book I have. Last question is about the 09 gathering in Mount Vernon, Illinois. I would sure like to go to see actual flying machines and get the opportunity to look under the hood on some of them. Anyone feel like taking a newbie under their wing?
