Yes Rich I had the same reaction when I got my plans and you have found the best and the worst reason to build the KR. Thus one reason this list exists. Do not worry, there is plenty of knowledge here to fill in the gaps left by the plans either in the archives or by posting you questions. There are no dumb questions because because we all realize that your life depends on your success. Also there will be a supplemental plans package that comes with the originals to show the "S' version detail changes.

Hello all, I am considering the purchase of a set of plans for the KR-2S but before committing, I wanted to get a look at a construction manual. Recently I got a crack at just that: a KR-1 manual and plan-set from Rand Robinson Engineering which looked like they were from the early 70's seemed abysmally short on details. FYI, the plans number was KR-1 # 6215. The vagueness of this document set was a bit discouraging, leaving me with a definite sense of disconnect between the pretty pictures I had before me and my vision of the detailed drawings and written instruction I feel I will need to get through this project. Now that the material comes from NVAero and multiple decades have passed, can I assume the level of detailed information and quality of the direction in the manual has evolved (improved)?
