Try to make it to the gathering. You'll get plenty of opportunity to look at any part of many different KRs and can get lots of 1-on-1 time with many KR builders and pilots. I plan to be there.
While the RR plans are important, I think you'll find much more information on the web pages published by many KR builders. Start at KRNet.org and start drilling down from there. Mark Langford and Dan Heath have published their aircraft construction in painful detail on their web pages and will supply you will enough reading to keep you occupied for weeks. Lots of other guys have plenty of interesting details published on their web sites as well.
