    Yes Rick ...You could be close to being.. 'on the money' .. by the early looks ... and maybe detonation ...But the engine tear-down will tell the story .. Sure ran and sounded sweet though .. saw 2000fpm on climb-out if i gave full power ...!?? For Now Graham . .. ----- Original Message ----- From: Richard Trickel To: kis-list@matronics.com Sent: Monday, April 19, 2010 10:15 PM Subject: Re: KIS-List: KIS TRI Nose Leg Graham I had a simular problem with a VW that I had many years ago. The dealership that did the tune up on my car set the timing way in advance which led to a burned hole in the cylinder. this was on a new car too. The high oil temp was probably related to the cylinders getting much hoter than normal.

Looks like the Valve timing got out of sync with the pistons ... Timing belt and all pulleys all look fine though ....and don't know how that ties in with the Oil issues ....

If you can get some 2inch .095 wall tube you could weld that in. The airfoit tube requires stiffiners and though better looking was not as strong as the round tube. |You cand build a fairing onto the tube with glass and foam. Rich Sorry to here about the mishape.

    Hello Graham, my name is Bob Bohemier a previous TR-1 owner. I am sorry to hear about your problem with your airplane. Perhaps I can hel p with the nose wheel gear leg. Two years ago I crashed my TR-1 due to a malfunction in the left wing contr ol system. The aircraft crashed left wing down in a dense forest. The airpl ane was destroyed but many components survived. The nose gear leg was one o f those components.It is the streamlined airfoil type. I never had any prob lems with this component in over 500 T/L cycles. The leg and lower wheel assembly seem to be undamaged. The steel shaft that is inserted in the top leg assembly is bent but that part can be replaced. If you have an interest in this gear assembly you can contact me by phone ( 417-469-5657) or E-mail. Take care and good luck with your airplane.

    Hi Bruce, My manual says Thrust line at WL 01 and 1 1/2 degrees right thrust. Hope this helps Mike ----- Original Message ----- From: bruce@rotaryresources.com To: kis-list@matronics.com Sent: Sunday, April 18, 2010 6:06 PM Subject: KIS-List: Kis engine mount This question probably shows everybody how "in the dark" I really am with my project, but I wanted to know if there was a current source for the dynafocal mount for a cruiser. If not, does anyone have the prop centerline dimensions and any offset required? Bruce Turrentine
