Also, I'm interested in buying this project myself if I can find a place to build it, so it's a conflict of interest for me to be the gatekeeper deciding what other people get the information. I suggest you get in touch with her and ask her if she wants to disseminate her number or e-mail. You're the one she contacted, so I assume you're the one she wants to deal with. Also, you have no interest in her plane, so you can be unbiased about running the feeding frenzy. I only hope that if someone other than me winds up with it, it's someone who wants to build a KR-2 rather than someone who buys it for the parts and engine and discards this tragically deceased builder's project.
