www.nvaero.com is the sole-source for new/original KR plans... Occasionally you'll see a set for sale from someone who thought they were going to build, and gave up... Or you might find a set included with a started-but-never-finished plane... But to start from scratch with new plans, NVAero is

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 s
