Hello Rich, Is this true? Didn't you ship a KIS TR-1 off to China several years ago? Did it ever fly there? Thanks, OC ====================================================== >From AOPA enewsletter American homebuilt headed for China By Alton K. Marsh China is benefitting from American aviation companies at all levels. Chinese citizen XueQiang Si is building a Sportsman 2+2 at Glasair's Two Weeks To Taxi program and plans to base it in the city of Laiwu in China's Shandong Province. XueQiang Si said that he believes his Sportsman will be the first experimental category aircraft to fly in the People's Republic of China. "There is no homebuilt category in China yet," XueQiang Si said. "I will fly it with an 'N' number first." "It was perfect for me because I not only saved so much time in building the aircraft, I also learned what I need to know to maintain my Sportsman," XueQiang Si said. Glasair's Two Weeks to Taxi program complies with the FAA's new 51-percent rules, allowing customers to build the high-wing four-seat Sportsman with guidance from factory mechanics. Builders can select several choices of engines and a variety of instruments for their panels. XueQiang Si's Sportsman will feature Advanced Flight System LCD glass screens with synthetic vision and a VP-200 Climate Control System. ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 07:24:56 AM PST US From: Robert Reed Subject: Re: KIS-List: American homebuilt headed for China I thought the factory TR-4 KIS Cruiser was sold and shipped to China as wel l.- =0A=0ABob Reed=0A=0A=0A=0A=0A________________________________=0AFrom: "bakerocb@cox.net" =0ATo: "TRICKEL, RICH" ; "KIS-LIST, MATRONICS" =0ASent: Fri, December 11, 2009 7:44:40 AM=0ASubject: KIS-List: American homebuilt headed 11/2009=0A=0AAOPA wrote "XueQiang Si said that he believes his Sportsman wi ll be the first experimental category aircraft to fly in the People's Repub lic of China."=0A=0AHello Rich,- Is this true?

Not because of regulations as they had arranged for them to fly but the company founders used Govrenment money to do the proje ct and ended up putting a lot it in some strange place that the gov. didn =B4t like.- Their Pocket.- They are now in the states seeking asylum. - The planes (which were a ligit purchase for the company) are probably i n the building they built for production.- They did--build a nice fac ility but never completed our contract..
