Do what others Do (lead by example ?), dump your - KR project - and build an unrelated aluminum homebuilt called the RV. Then, post how great this aluminum bird is to put together here on the KRNet and then ridicule those for not more aggressively supporting the KR - i.e. putting your money where your mouth is.
The reason more people aren't building KRs is because there is NO definitive KR design to build. To participate on this group you need a slide rule and the ability to design. Very few people are willing to do that, most would prefer to take a proven design and duplicate it. In order to get more KRs into circulation the die needs to be cast, which is required of any good design (where the hell is that cooking cutter). Lets look at facts: - The KR-2 weighs 450 lbs empty - The KR-2S weighs 550 lbs empty - The ELF, wizbang, or what ever you want to call the current List Design weighs 700+ lbs empty. Builders there ain't no plans for this bird, your on your own. Of course some enterprising feller might come up with a set of plans you can build from, until then your living in a fantasy world if you think your going to start and complete something without a road map.

It is just frustrating when you try to do something and get no support .......just whining and woies me's. Sorry for the waste of space, no I take that back, I'm not sorry. I wouldn't have said it if I thought anything otherwise. Dana Overall
