I have KR plans purchased directly from Jeanette. I gave her $60 I think it was, and she gave me the plans in person. As odd as this may sound, I didn't buy my KR drawings because I was wanting a KR. I buy plans mostly as a collector, used more for education. I am a member of the KR group because I enjoy the groups activity, the "get-r-done" attitude, and the ideas that come from the members as they build their aircraft. The KR has evolved into something other than what the plans offer. I don't think you want to build either a KR1 or 2 without a HUGE dose of internet research, going to the yearly fly-in, or visiting one on one with those who have been there. If you don't do at least 2 of the three you will be sorry down the line.
What do I think of the plans? I think I could build a rocket ship of an airplane from them using the new airfoil. To power the airplane I would use the 120 HP Yamaha Vector snowmobile engine like is being used in the gyrocopters. I bet it would cruise well past redline. What am I building? Streak Shadow from an old kit. I want to fly from my property (short) and be able to cruise at least 100 mph. I have my eyes on the Yamaha for this airplane too. Same weight/size as the Geo metro, but twice the power. If a KR is what you want, then a KR you shall have. There is massive amount of information out there. I have never met a person who isn't willing to share their construction work. Go to it. Kevin Golden Harrisonville, MO. In a message dated 10/18/2010 12:45:40 A.M.

At this point I don't know if I have everything I need to build the aircraft or not. I have a sinking feeling I wasted $139.00. I thought my Corby plans left something to be desired. After paging through the KR-1 plans I will never say a bad word about the Corby prints again! I ran across a post in the archive that advised purchasing the KR-2 plans to supplement the KR-1 plans. It sure seems a shame to have to spend an additional $204.95 plus $25.00 for shipping to get what you need to build the craft... Is any one else having this issue?
