Hello Netter's. We are providing plans for the KR series of aircraft, however, orders can still be placed from Jeanette as well. You will notice on our website our plans prices are slightly higher than what Rand Robinson sells them for. The reason for this is that we have to pay full retail for them. Basically we just redistribute the plans and make them more readily available. The additional cost to purchase through us just offsets the extra handling and credit card fees we have to pay to provide this convenience to builders. We essentially do not make anything on them other than the immediate service we provide. We typically keep sets of plans in stock so there is minimal time lapse between receiving an order and shipping.
For all parts orders one can order, receive a confirmation, and track your order through our website. You don't have to wonder where it is or what is going on. If you do have any questions you can call us and 90% of the time someone will answer your call. Another benefit of buying through us is you can pay with your credit card or check. Whichever you prefer. There is an option upon check out where you can choose to pick up your order, or pay by check but it gets the order I the system so we know it is coming. Most of the time there will not be any lag between order and shipping. We have 2 orders that are still pending. One is because our mold was damaged and is not quite repaired yet, the other should be filled before Christmas. Once Eric and I returned from the Gathering he was deployed for awhile to support an operation with the Navy. I have had to move hangars twice while he was gone as we seem to keep running out of room which was not fun. On the trip back from Dan Diehl's I aggravated an injury on my knee that was left over from the Marine Corps and pretty well finished it off at Copperstate Fly-In in Arizona in October. I have been moving slower than I had hoped in getting things accomplished due to the limited movement and pain. I will be having knee surgery on the 29th of this month and am hoping to have a relatively short recovery time. Eric is back from deployment and being reassigned to a stateside unit so we should be able to get things moving along a little more smoothly. I would hate to see anyone give up on their project due to feeling like they have no support. Any questions concerning the KR can be directed to us and we are happy to help the best we can. From here on out we are the Authorized Factory Support for the KR series of aircraft and are supplying all parts and accessories. Although the website still does not reflect everything we have, we are adding product as we can. If something you need is not listed send us an email and we can probably get it for you if we don't already have it. Another avenue for support is the KRnet. This is by far one of the best tools we have for building the KR. The resources here are very extensive. With the websites from Mark Jones and Dan Heath, we have a lot of good stuff. Nothing compares to the information and real world data that Mark Langford has on his website. It is very safe to say that if it were not for Mark and his love of tinkering and documentation the KR would have most likely dies out a very long time ago for the reasons mention in the past few postings. We hope to also have a some of the information listed in specific categories on our forum for landing gear, wings, etc for the products we provide for easy access for those who do not know about the KR net or some of these other great sites. One of our next things to do is to have our own builders website showing the progress on our factory demonstrator and what we have been doing. People have been asking us how things are going so I this would be a good way let everyone know. Lastly, I have received several e-mails about the electric speed brake, flap actuator. It can be purchased in 4" or 6" travel. We provide the panel indicator light and panel switch or, if you are going to operate it from the stick we have the relay and wiring diagram as well. The actuator is rated at 110lbs dynamic and 500lbs static. I have used it on the LongEZ without any problems and there are several other flying. I have not heard of any failures. Thanks for your patience as we grow. If anyone has any questions, please contact me off list. If related to business stuff please use [email protected]. Sincerely, Steve Glover Production Manager www.nvaero.com -----Original Message----- .... i just gave up on them all together and i am selling my KR2 because they have no support. good luck Ron Garrison
