This happens all the time. There are bootleg plans being sold of about anything you could imagine on ebay. Plans for things other than airplanes too.
I have bought a few plans on CD from ebay auctions with no intent to build the plane at all. I just want to see how another designer has done something. Most drawings on CD are old out of date plans and I wouldn't think anyone would build these designs today. I may be wrong, but I think the plans we are talking about here are the KR2, not the KR2S. As I have said before, surely no one would start from scratch and build a KR2 as it was designed in the early 70s. The KR2S with new airfoils isn't really a KR2. It is a different, much better bird with simularities as I see it. I rarely chime in so since I am now I want to THANK those who posted photos of the KR meet in IL. It looked like a very good meet with great weather and even better airplanes!
