OC, Robert, and Tim,
Thank you for those kind words. My post was the short version of events. I thought
it important to know how the Volato 400 came about and not just post the cool
video links. Both myself, and the rest of my family are very proud of what
Richard accomplished but we too were disappointed with the out come of KIS in
2000, and again in 2007 to learn that even with Richard joining with Pulsar Aircraft
Corporation in 2005, nothing was going to change the course Pulsar was
on.
KIS builders and owners continue to develop these great designs though KIS was
never alone (like Bede 5 builders). For years Vance was answering questions and
giving advice until he passed away. Richard, who was really not much of a fan
of this forum in the beginning, warmed up to it and provided much information
until he passed away. We still have two of the best engineers in the business,
Mark K, and Scott. I can not wait to see what they do with the 540 Carbon
Cruiser - this is going to be great!
I try to continue this legacy Rich left. I never though we would be able to locate
as much of the fleet as we have (now at almost 130 names), but we are still
finding airplanes to add to the builders and owners list (2 names added last
week). I have sent out a few letters to try and establish contact with those
who are not computer literate. I am considering a snail mail newsletter for these
builders and owners. I am now not only related by name, I am the owner of
Ken McCormicks TR-1C. That means the next time a door flies off or a wing gets
pranged there will be parts on the horizon. I hope I too can contribute to the
project in some small way.
OC your contribution has been anything but small. Your posts combined are the
most comprehensive collection of KIS information from any builder we have. Your
knowledge of building techniques, the IO-240, and how to fly the TR-1, is incredible.
Robert you maintained your website through thick and thin and allowed all KIS
builders to contribute to it making KIS a better project. On behalf of all KIS
builders and owners I cant thank you enough.
Another thanks should go out to Bill Shertz, what foresight you had in starting
this forum allowing all KIS builders and owners to communicate, another great
resource KIS had and still does.
