I believe Virg has the only set of plans for the 1B.

Hm. The KR1B Motorglider numbers that Virge cited of 484 empty weight
and 27' wing span yield .66, which is higher than .62. I guess if you want
to build a KR1B and call it
I do have a set, need I say more, Virg

I researched this issue before giving up in disgust with the FAA on Medical
issues. I think the wing needs to be 10 feet long (outer panels, and that

can be done, and how long it will take. I have about 20 months left on my
license.
