Hi Guys
Just read article Ramp Check page 16 Sport Aviation.
Are we required to have a flight manual? Our planes do not come with one.
If so what info needs to be in it?
I have check sheets that cover Start up, Taxi, Take off, Landing, and emerg
ency.

I have a copy of the manual I made up based on a lot of other manuals
available. You can download it in PDF format at:
http://puertoricoflyer.com/KIS4%20Aiplane%20Manual.pdf
If you want it in WORD format (easier to modify) let me know and I will sen

Hi OC and others
I threw this firecracker out there because i suddenly realized how much
and how fast KIS lifetime has passed with one of the two problems still
hanging out there.[Some of us will probably go West sooner then later
taking some valuable KIS thoughts with them.]
The Elevator authority problem can be handled with higher approach speed
on a longer runway and/or increasing elevator size [with vortex
generators?]
The Nose Gear weakness is a continuous black cloud overhead because it
can lead to a financial disaster.A collapse and a damaged metal Prop
automatically requires engine removal and Tear Down.The total proper
repair cost cold easily exceed sensible limits and result in scrapping the
airplane.Use a wood prop.
The trigger point for starting this bloody exercise was noting the
Healthy nose gear leg on the new RV12[Light Sport]advertisement pictures.
I have stirred up enough trouble tonight.
Ted

Hello,
I'm getting close to flying. I got the
airworthiness certificate last week and got the insurance going. The
airplane is ready and running well and now I'm trying to get my
tailwheel skills built up. I've taxied it around the airport a few
times and will hopefully do a high speed taxi and lift the tail this
week. We'll see how it goes.

skinny spring steel nose landing gear strut / assemblies so I am not
familiar with its lower end. Both the streamlined shaped strut that I
received initially and the subsequent round strut that Lyle Hendricks
made for me had a 3/4 inch diameter (if I remember right) vertical stub
at the bottom end.

Grummans (how about the Cirruses?) have a larger diameter vertical stub
and that we should go in that direction in order to use the remainder of
the lower end assembly that those aircraft have?

washers in my nose landing gear vertical stub stack up with nylon
washers. They have given me excellent service. I have no nose wheel
shimmy problems. The friction is pretty tight and it takes a good stab
at the brake pedal to change direction of taxi.
