| Subject: | Fuel Level Sender - Bob Reed |
Bob,
I noticed that you've cut the capacitive fuel level sender in order to install
it on the wing due to cracks on the sender tubing after bending.
My sender was installed on the inboard wing rib, but on the upper part of the rib.
Ted installed it bent up on the inboard part of the wing and pointing down
toward the wing tip. This setup will not provide good measurements and I'm thinking
on changing that.
To correct this issue I'm thinking on cutting the sender as you did, since there
is not enough bendable lengh to bend the sensor down so that it touches the
bottom of the wing skin.
Did you tested your setup? Did it worked properly? What is the brand and the model
of your sender?
P.S.: I tried to see the pictures of your wing leak test but the link seem to be
broken

Galin,
what about the forces to set the second notch? Is it acceptable on normal flap
operating speeds?
About the deflections, I've seen on an old post something about 10 and 20 deg.
What are the correct numbers (0/10/20 or 0/12/24)?

KIS!
I delayed in posting this information as I have been real busy working on my KIS
every single day. After one of the coldest, and snowiest winters I can ever
remember I got the bug for warm weather and rode down to SNF for a little sunshine,
and airplanes. I also stopped by Galins hanger for a close look at his real
nice TR-4. His craft sports a clear coated white pearl finish, leather upholstery,
and an IFR glass panel. We had a small KIS reunion on Saturday. In the
attached photo left to right are: myself, KIS engineer Mark Kettering, world
class Cruiser pilot Galin Hernandez, and Al Rosa. In the foreground is Marks
Aeromonetum 1.3 liter 100hp conversion. Mark also had a 1.5 liter 117hp version.
My latest searches for KIS aircraft turned up a few interesting finds. Posted on
YouTube is a TR-1 Go-Pro cockpit view of a first flight. I dont know any details
about this aircraft other than what is shown. It appears to have a Continental
cowling, and I believe the builders name is Robert Wallach and the airplane
is based in Riverside, CA. I also believe that Robert as not the original
kit owner as he appears to be a bit young. Congratulations Robert on a job well
done. I posted an invite on his video to come to our forum so we can get a few
more details on this build. I also sent information about this builder to Richs
daughter Nancy to see if she could locate him, she lives 15 minutes from
the Riverside airport.
Take a look: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mtPj-MA84c
Another search turned up of all things a French KIS, yes thats right! The only
other information Ive been able to find is that it is kit #34. I dont recall Rich
ever mentioning a KIS in France. This kit may have been sold by UK dealer
Brian Davies, and it would have been delivered in late 1992 or early 1993. Robert
R. check out the intake scoop on this one, I think you may have been on to
something when you were formulating yours. Picture Attached
Another tidbit showed upYou all may remember this guy Barry bought the Kindig TR-1
from Jerry Conners not too long ago well I guess it was more of a project
than he wanted to deal with the airplane was listed at Barnstormers, and eBay,
it sold in May, for a ridiculously low price - I believe it was around $13,000.
Barry had the airplane apart, and was ready to install all new windows. The
aircraft has a new registration number. The ad mentioned that he was going certified.
I hope the new owner drops by the forum for the wealth of knowledge
that is still here.
Moving onwell KIS fans may recall TR-1 240X, it was for sale forever, and it was finally bought by Ron Russo. He is located maybe 15 minutes South of Lakeland, FL. A recent search popped up noting the airplane was again for sale. I dont know if that is an old ad or it is current. Ron seems to be a pretty well qualified pilot he offers initial flight testing in a variety of aircraft. Rob has a website at: http://ronsflying.com/test-pilot-services.html
Another TR-1 builder showed up on the Pulsar forum a while back. His name is Dan
Ryalls. He was asking about what kind of resin to use as his had expired, he
listed the airplane as a Pulsar Sport 150. You know, I really do not recognize
or except that name, the Pulsar clown Degani never made any TR-1 kits they only
bought back and resold TR-1 kits, and so far Ive only found one case of a
resale. It is possible there are more resales out there but the way I see it is
a KIS TR-1 is a KIS TR-1, and that is that. I tried to reach out to Dan but
I did not receive any reply which leads me to believe he is an older original
owner, and just not too good at computing.
KIS listers may also recall Jason Hills sad report on the demise of his beautiful
Warden KIS TR-1C built by Richs employees Chuck and Steve. I am most certain
this ship will take to the air again. It was bought from the insurance company
by Wentwoth Aircraft. Oshkosh, and SNF attendees should be familiar with this
company as they are always present at these shows peddling there savaged wares.
I was told the airplane was sold as one complete lot, they did not break
it up and sell it in pieces.

I put the fuel senders in from the wingtip on both my TR-1 and the TR-4 pro
ject. -You can custom order senders up to around 10 feet and it is not mu
ch extra. -I put them in at an angle looking from the wing leading edge s
o they enter near the top of the wing root rib and the tip of the sender is
just above the lower wing skin at or near the wing root rib. -No need to
bend the tube. -The senders work great on my TR-1, very linear, and the
senders are removable out of the wingtip. -I used the newer princeton sen
ders that just use a pipe theard fitting and a separate box for the electro

Thanks Scott!
That's probably the best way to go, but my wings are already closed and with the
aluminum insert installed on the inboard rib.
I want to keep the rework to the minimum level in order to get it flying as soon
as possible....
Best,

Fabricio:
I actually measured my flap extension and they are 0, 12 and 24 degrees.
I find the 2nd "notch" (24 degrees) needs more force than the 1st "notch"
(12 degrees) but nothing very hard. It is a good thing since it is a
noticeable difference in force between the two flap extensions. It makes it
very difficult to accidentally select 24 degrees.

Mark; the video is on my good friend Sid Bravo and his TR-1. I have
attached a photo of us together in El Salvador where he got "bit" by the
KIS bug.
BTW: He is already part of this forum so he should chime in soon.

Thank you for the clarificacin Galin. My name is Siddartha Bravo and I'm the current
owner of (N528BR) this beautiful flying machine, I called little "B". In
honor of her big sister Blanquita Galin's TR-4. I'm not the builder of this
TR-1, the original owner and builder was Charles Traughber. This TR-1 was built
in on Florida. Back in 1996 and the kit number is 043. Is powered by a O-290
D. Little B is currently being painted and having its panel upgraded to a G3X
system.

| Subject: | Re: TR-4 Flap Actuation Forces |
I found that after I built my TR-1, that has a full flap setting of 28 deg.,
that when lifted the trailing edge of the flap during the preflight
inspection ( flaps extended ) that the slop in the control system allowed
the flaps to only have 21 deg. Simulating in-flight air loads. I extended
the flap selector slot and added a third notch so that I get 28 deg. loaded.
Maybe the 4 is a more rigid system then the 1.
I know of another TR-1 that has the same condition. I would be interested in
others experience with this test.
