KR> Rand Robinson??? Just my view.
This is my view. I am not building a KR, but do have the plans. First, I would not bring Mercedes into this. There was an article this week that Mercedes has the worst reliability of any car available in America. It used to be Jaguar, but I guess they are spreading the "love". Now the KR's Next, I think the problem with the KR is the design needs updated. The construction drawings you buy today isn't what I would build. I guess you can build a plans stock airplane, but there has been so much done to improve the design that I wouldn't. Last, I offer a resolution. In an ideal world the plans should be sold or turned over to those who keep the design alive. Those who show up at the national meet with a flying airplane are the people I speak of. If it wasn't for these people the design would have ended up like so many other designs, just a memory. The plans could be purchased from a group of KR enthusiasts with updates being done on a regular basis. If Jeanette wants to stay in it for the $$, give her some of the proceeds from the sales. I think everyone involved would benefit. Those who are wanting plans could get them right away, Jeanette would get her money, and the design would improve through updates from knowledgeable people. Thank you to those have put so much of themselves into the KR design. Kevin in Missouri ARUP ** AOL now offers free email to everyone. Find out more about what's free from AOL at http://www.aol.com.

OK Guys, Your flattering yourselves to think no one has thought of that or tried it before and it apparently is not in the cards for now and may never be. You certainly are not taking into consideration any sentimental value that this airplane design has to Mrs. Robinson. A little less typing and a little more discretion may be in order here.

As I mentioned some planes just became a memory. To use an example of this. I use the Charles Fauvel designs. Charles may not even be known by anyone in this group, but I believe he should be known by everyone. He was a French man that designed many different flying wings. Some sailplanes, some powered planes. The most popular is a sailplane that a few were built by homebuilders. I have searched high and low for ANY construction drawings for a Fauvel design...ANY of his designs. Surely one mans lifetime of work has to leave a paper trail somewhere. I found the paper trail ended when he died and his SENTIMENTAL spouse burned EVERYTHING having to do with his lifetime of work. won't happen with the KR design as there are a huge # of drawings out there, but just goes to show you how much true $$ value sentimental has.
