Thanks Galin, I don't think I mentioned that I like your website, lots of good information. I downloaded the PDF, it's pictorially pretty complete and a good reference to how you accomplished the airc ...

Galin, thanks for the info and example. I took a similar approach, it worked well and I was able to safely and easily work on the main gear.

Best,

Hi All, I have a need to remove the main gear of my TR-1. In searching the archives, I found one thread that suggests supporting the plane at the wing roots. I've also considered strapping the fusela ...

That's really awesome Galin. I have only a fraction of your hours in my KIS. Before owning this plane all I've ever really flown was Cessna's and Pipers, but flying my KIS is the MOST fun I've ever ha ...

Thanks so much guys! My shopping list is now complete.

Hi All, I'm reaching out in hopes someone has knowledge of the Advanced Aircraft Electronics L2 antenna. I have this installed in my plane and connected to a Garmin GTX 320 transponder. I would like t ...

Thank you all for your responses. It's time for me to test the waters, find some altitude and slowly work my way into a stall. Your feedback is encouraging and much appreciated. I'm definitely conside ...

Hi all, I am on the 6th month of my TR-1 ownership, and I'm really enjoying the aircraft. When I first got the plane I was advised to take extra care to not stall the aircraft, but even intentionally ...

Thanks for the reply Giuseppe, I did a visual inspection and nothing appears to be loose or visibly worn. Is there a document you can point me to as to process of rigging this airplane?

Thanks,

I have what I believe is a rigging issue with my TR-1. I'm continuously having to push the stick to the right in order to maintain straight and level flight. If I let go of the stick the planes wants ...

So it appears that the right flap has some kind of slack issue. In the pick below the right flap is fully retracted but is not flush. The left flap is flush. At the trailing edge it appears to be hang ...

Keith, thanks for the details, this is really helpful. Here are the two pics taken regarding the flap extension issue. As you'll see there is nothing scientific about how the measurement was done but ...

Thanks very much for the feedback on the nose gear identification, as for the placement I understand the theory behind canting the main gear, but I'm not clear as to what's involved in doing so. I'll ...

Hi all, I'm in the midst of a pre-buy inspection for a TR-1, and have a couple of questions, that hopefully you can help me answer:

1. Posted below are pics of the nose gear assembly, from these pi ...

Jarod, I'll reach out to you today, thanks.

Galin, thanks for reaching out from the other coast.

Hi, I have an opportunity to purchase a 2 seat KIS aircraft, and I would like to take a pre-purchase flight. This plane has been flown regularly and is airworthy. My only experience is with Cessna's a ...
