See http://www.freebirdplans.org/ for details. Progress has been slow, but
we're getting there.
I also have to mention that anyone who thinks they'd like to build a KR-1
probably needs to find one and sit in it to make sure they fit. Being a
Munchkin is a must, if you build it by the plans, and that's coming from a
pretty small guy (me). A stock KR-2 is equally tight, and short of headroom.
The KR2S is a huge step in the right direction, but almost all of them being
build in recent years have been stretched upward and lengthwise, and the
FreeBird project is just an extension of that effort.
No FreeBird plans are available yet, but when they are, they will be published
to the website above, for free download. A re-write of the plans build manual
is also on the agenda, as the original plans left a LOT to the imagination.
This documentation will be a "living document" that will change as the design
and experience evolves, rather than frozen in stone like the old plans have
become. Please be patient. This will not happen overnight. I've asked a few
experienced builders if they would contribute their time to the effort, but
have received very little in the way of offers, so if there are others who feel
they can offer real contribution (in the way of time and writing) to the
effort, please let me know. This is mostly in the form of writing a chapter in
the build manual, or at least one aspect of the build process. Depending on
how much feedback I get, I may not get back to you immediately, but will at
least have a small pool of contributors lined up, who are willing to do some
writing.
