The people on this list are, by far your best source of information on the KIS aircraft. We'd like to help you. You can join here: http://www.matronics.com/subscription/ The archives of the Matronics KIS list contain decades worth of postings regarding building and flying KIS airplanes. I built KIS TR-1 kit number 116 and have been flying it for several years for 360 plus hours. Some background: 1) The KIS line of aircraft was founded / designed by the late Rich Trickel doing business as Tri-R Technologies in Oxnard CA. 2) The KIS TR-1 was powered by a variety of engines including some 150 HP Lycomings. 3) When Solly Melyon, who had previously become associated with Pulsar, took over the assets of Tri-R he renamed the KIS TR-1 as the Pulsar 150. 4) Solly Melyon left Pulsar and Yaron Degani moved Pulsar to El Salvador. Rich Trickel subsequently joined Pulsar in El Salvador. 5) Both Yaron Degani (in an airplane accident) and Rich Trickel (from cancer) have passed away and the Pulsar factory is basically non functioning. You wrote: 6) "...am struggling to find information on a KIS 150 I have that needs work." We need to know what kind of work is needed in order to best help you. Also please tell us a little bit about your plane: Who built it? How did you get it? What engine does it have? 7) "I did get a limited set of plans ....." There are no real "plans" for the KIS TR-1. Just a Builders Manual that tells you how to assemble the factory provided molded parts and hardware into an airplane. I have a copy of the KIS TR-1 Builders Manual on a disc (thanks to Hans-Christian Erstad) that I would be willing to try to copy and send to you if you wish. 8) " I need misc parts (ailerons, flaps, etc.) and either need plans or parts." It won't be easy, particularly working with you at a distance, but I am sure that we can help you. Want to get started?

Now depending on which switch I throw, all 4 of my landing/taxi lights either flash or light up. With all 4 lights blinking, the airplane's visibility is greatly increased during the day. All I had to buy was the 25A fuse and the Bussmann 244 flasher which ran just under $15.00 for the whole setup. Here is a picture of the circuit and how I did the wiring. [image: Inline image 1] I also posted a video of the lights as the work at: http://youtu.be/ICYVd_uVQV0 Galin N819PR ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message kis-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/KIS-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/kis-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/kis-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
