From: "Twellmann, Ralf" ----- Originalnachricht ----- Von: owner-kis-list-server@matronics.com An: kis-list@matronics.com Gesendet: Mon Jun 25 18:53:06 2012 Betreff: KIS-List: Re: KIS TR-1 located near Cinn, Ohio? or within 200 miles? Mark, If you're trying to track down various kits, KIS TR-1c #51 built by Richard Warden likely flew it's final flight on May 26, 2012. During the landing rollout the weld attaching the left rudder pedal & brake failed resulting in an inability to maintain directional control (no left rudder or brake). The plane departed the runway to the right at Roche Harbor (Friday Harbor, WA) and eventually came to rest with the nose caught in a sheep fence along the runway. The landing gear collapsed, prop strike, damage to the wings and fuselage. My insurance company totaled the plane. Thankfully, nobody was hurt. ...Jason On Jun 25, 2012, at 9:07 AM, mark_trickel wrote: > > Hello Jerry, > > To the best of my knowledge there are no KIS aircraft in Ohio.
