GOOD DEAL! KR information should be public domain anyway. The original KR is outdated to the point they are more of a GUIDE than PLANS. I believe this "loyalty" is misguided and silly. There is a Yahoo group that has a bunch of free downloadable plans from years past and this might be a good place for the KR plans. This site can be found here:
_http://ca.groups.yahoo.com/group/cfair/?yguid=62311250_ (http://ca.groups.yahoo.com/group/cfair/?yguid=62311250) Bottom line: I don't think if the plans are given away free that more KRs will be built. The plans cost is so tiny compared to the overall cost of the project Also, I already have KR1 plans bought from Jeanette nearly 10 years ago.

They are available via bit torrent and the torrents can be downloaded from www.isohunt.com, www.thepiratebay.org and www.demonoid.com. Demonoid requires an account which you have to get through invitation but isohunt and thepiratebay are free. I'm also thinking that I'll post it on a file sharing website like mediafire so those without bittorrent can get it. The download is 208mb and includes all of the manuals and prints required for the KR-1. There are actually 2 different sets of plans that I scanned. The scan quality on some of the plans is lacking so there is a B&W and Colour set. I'm planning on digitally retouching all of the older prints both for clarity and also so they can be compressed more, for ease of downloading. I'm putting the plans on the net because I'm irritated at how long it took the get the plans from Rand Robinson, there was no chance of telephone correspondance and I was irritated by the serious lack of quality in the plans. There appreared to be missing pages in the construction manual and the drawings were very helter skelter. The construction manual even references drawings that apparently don't exist. If anyone has a set of KR-2 or KR-2S plans they would be willing to loan me I would love to get a set of those up on the internet. Please bear in mind that I'm trying to do this as a favour to the community. It costs me about $50 to get the large plans scanned and then there is considerible work on my part to scan and assemble all of the other material. Hope you enjoy em!
