Dear Mr. Bellville, I appreciat your response though I cannot agree with you on most of your assumptions. My partner and I are going to be working with Jenette at RR in every kit we buy, and if we do produce our own, we certainly will be paying royalties to her. \ We decided on the KR series since it incorporates everything we sought in a good airplane. It has the range, the looks, the relative speed we sought for our sales marketing to overseas, and to the States. We are building it because we feel that many would like to have a beautiful, safe, and reliable plane at a relatively inexpensive price, and without having to spend 1000 + hours building it. We have a sound program being set up and I am always open to suggestions that will benefit us and the KR family of owners and pilots. I am a former Marine General who has flown over 30 years, but I must admit that I am a novice at the building process and realize that the more I know, the better the plane will be. We want to include a BRS, a portable oxygen system, long range fuel tanks, transponder and GPS as part of the stock plane, not an option. I am very sorry that you do not wish to offer any sound advice to us because we are always ready to listen. My partner owns, as well as his brother Accuracy Technologies in Glendale and Ventura and we intend to do a lot of R&D on new engines and airplane parts to be put in our own planes, as well as for sale to the general public. We are spending our own money, and we want no ones money except those that are buying our product. We care for the plane as much as anyone else does. Our questions I asked still could use some answers. Thank you for writing and hop you will reconsider and write again.
