Netters,
Ken came out with the KR-1 in 1971, the first magazine article came out just
after I got my income tax refund. I saw it and said wow, I wrote to Ken and ask
if he had plans for sale. His reply was $25.00, so I sent him the money. My
plans serial number was 69. A lot of people thought I shouldve gone the BD-5
route at the time. Guess I made the right choice. My Ex made sure I never built
anything, even though I had most of the stuff to build the -1. The materials
got donated to EAA Chapter 292 (home of the Noon Patrol) last year when I moved
to Albuquerque. Ive helped a friend build a KR-1, and helped with a bunch of
other birds through out the years. I hope to get stared on something in the
nest few years. Oh yes the original plans were a lot better than most of the
$25.00 plans that were around back then.
