Steve, I don't think you'll find any KB-2 or Bensen plans unless someone has some used ones for sale. However, you can do better than that. Click the following link and scroll down to near the bottom of the page and look at the "Sparrow". http://www.pra.org/index.php?module=...61&page_num=15
The Sparrow is nothing more than a droped keel KB-2/ Bensen. You can build it from plans or Neal sells the very complete kit at a very reasonable price.
Several contributers on this forum have made the Sparrow mod with very satisfactory results. My personal opinion is this gyro is a "sleeper", and may be the most over looked light weight single seater out there with the most value you can get for your money.

Here's their web site. Forget the older stuff like the B-19/20. That's old outdated stuff.
