Hey everyone,

Apologies in advance for perpetuating the great "Plan's Quandary" thread.
As I understand things Janette Rand feels that selling plans will expose
her to legal liability and doesn't want to allow plans to be sold. In an
ideal world we would try and setup a non-profit that could take over legal
liability for the designs and keep Ken's legacy going. Obviously thats
something for Janette to decide.

People have mentioned that the KR designs draw heavily from the Taylor
Monoplane design.  I did see that plans for the Taylor Titch and Taylor
Monoplane are still available for sale on the web from Terry Taylor (John's
son).

Here is the URL to the site:

       http://www.taylortitch.co.uk/titch/index.html

* Would the Monoplane plans or titch plans be a suitable starting point for
building a KR- 1 / KR-2 ?At least buying Taylor monoplane plans would give
some money back to the original designer of the plane that inspired the
KR-1 / KR-2.

 * Are the changes / additions from a Taylor monoplane to a KR-2 / KR2-S
too big a departure ? It would be perfect to have a totally clean skin set
of plans that incorporates all the improvements from the community - I just
wonder if that is a huge task ?? I dont know  - maybe documenting the
deltas from the monoplane is an even bigger ask - just thought I'd put the
idea out there to you guys who know a lot more than I do.

Cheers,

Kieran
