I hear what you are saying. I've seen a few unfinished projects, talked to a couple of their owners. Not impressed. Not sure what I should look out for. Don't know who to trust. Learning from experience, I made a list of thongs I need in a project like this. It more than a project, its about to become part of my life and lifestyle. Some of the items on my list are not, or only marginally, possible with the plans built plane.
The KR seems to be one of those planes that you can build in phases. Others I looked at require buying kits and therefore way more money than o cam come up with at any given time. I appreciate all the input but unless I find just the right unfinished project, I'll have to build.

You may consider purchasing an unfinished project like I did. I had wild dreams of building the fuse wider and longer, making wings with wing tanks and using the new airfoils. I even used a cad program to make the fuselage just right. But in the end, I purchased an unfinished project from Larry Deckert. A very fine quality build with wings done with diehl wing skins, fuselage built to plans and tail built to plans. A rebuilt subaru engine, rebuilt corvair engine, warpdrive prop. etc, etc. for a about a quarter of the price materials would have cost just for the fuselage. I am in the process of building a new tail with actual airfoils, but heck I am years ahead instead of building my dream Kr. Just a note, there are some old kr fuselages around that are old and have been sitting in humid climates and are not worth their weight. I spent $700 in fuel to look at some in Oregon and was disappointed.
