mike, as an (hopefully) upcoming builder, is there a comprehensive list of things the builders have discovered to maybe do differently as you mention? > Date: Tue, 16 Jun 2015 23:26:24 -0400 > To: krnet at list.krnet.org > Subject: Re: KR> Nvaero plans/supplements > From: krnet at list.krnet.org

KR> Nvaero plans/supplements

2015-06-16 Thread Chris Prata
I'll chime in and say that (as a former small business owner) there are two legitimate sides to the issue. Based on the recent posts about dealing with Ms. Rand, it seems like it would help if she werent reluctant to allow a reseller to stock plans if she still got the same revenue. I agree tha

I was asking for the reason for the delay, not trying to blame Steve. It's obviously Jeanette Rand's fault. Ken Rand died when the design of the KR was still evolving and the plans were little more than a first draft. It's tragic there was never anyone else at Rand-Robinson who was interested in

Lighten up Mike. Walk in Steve's shoes for a while. If you want to discourage some from building any KR, you are doing a bang up job, Virg Broad shoulders, Thick skin ! On 6/16/2015 6:34 PM, Mike T via KRnet wrote: > What's the reason for these extraordinary delays? Lot

Can we please put this to rest. While there have been issues with plans and availability both on of our parts I cannot say that all of that was Jeanette. It is a 45 mile trip each way for me to get plans. I was only getting a few at a time which made it difficult especially with my work schedule

Seven or eight years ago or so I approached Dan Diehl about buying the landing gear and wing skin business from him and we had a tentative deal. I backed out because the partner I had backed away as the economy went to hell and his contracting business slowed way down. Part of the deal was that J

Not that I advocate it but there are KR1 plans on Ebay that are sold with the caveat that they are for "investigation only" and not to be used to build the plane. To get a set of these while you are waiting for the official ones is an option- it is still good to get a real set and support the K

After reading about lead times, I emailed NV Aero about plans and he got right back to me that they are starting to catch up. I will order them soon anyway. I figure they are indispensable to my long-standing goal to build a KR1. A couple other things which somewhat fit that category would be w
