I'm weighing building a KR vs. a Sonex and would like to talk with current KR
builders or pilots.
The Sonex doesn't have the performance potential and frankly, it's a bit
homely. But it does have superb plans and outstanding factory support.
The KR on the other hand has (as I have read but not

Isn't that the truth. It "looks" like it makes a lot of aerodynamic
sense but it's a turd compared to a KR. And I wouldn't put an AeroVee on
a lawnmower.

Mike,
As I understand it, no one has been able to convince Jeanette Rand to allow
them to reproduce the plans for sale (and a number of good people have
tried), so all plans ultimately come from her, and inordinate delays have
always been part of the picture - long before nvaero became involved.
Jeanette has dine a lot for the KR community besides the
plans. I have been a supporter of her since 1974., Virg

mike, as an (hopefully) upcoming builder, is there a comprehensive list of
things the builders have discovered to maybe do differently as you mention?

I'll chime in and say that (as a former small business owner) there are two
legitimate sides to the issue.
Based on the recent posts about dealing with Ms. Rand, it seems like it would
help if she werent reluctant to allow a reseller to stock plans if she still
got the same revenue. I agree
I was asking for the reason for the delay, not trying to blame Steve. It's
obviously Jeanette Rand's fault. Ken Rand died when the design of the KR
was still evolving and the plans were little more than a first draft. It's
tragic there was never anyone else at Rand-Robinson who was interested
