Intellectual Property???POPPYCOCK!! The KR boat and Spars have been in use since the 1920s', long before Ken was born. VW engines were not introduced to the aviation world by Ken. The wheels were from a go-cart, The airfoil is 60 year old technology....etc. and on and on!!!!There is very little intectual property here. The over-all design however was masterful, the use of wood and foam, the general outline, the wonderful simplicity of construction, the excellent plans and again, on and on! But that is not patented nor intelectual property. There are copy write issues regarding the plans book only. I bought my plans from KR before he died and called the company to tell them I bought them in partnership with my brother-in-law and we were making two aircraft. They assigned us a second number to present to the FAA . That simple. As it turned out, neither number seemed to be an issue with the FAA. The plans and experience continue to be a reference tool for me. A great education and plane #4 undergoing taxi testing now owes much to the KR education.
