Hello Robert, and other TR-4 fans. Pulsar may have been the last Shepard of KIS
but they did not do a very good job. Previously I thought they contracted Rich
while working for CS Composites (the new owner of High Tech Composites) to mold
up 5 TR-4s. But recent information leads me to believe they only molded 4
TR-4 kits. One was crashed by Degani (I couldn't be happier about that one). One
was sold in Germany, one went to Zizo in Brazil, and the last one was supposed
to go to Australia but I think that guy got ripped off totally. Pulsar never
molded any TR-1s. Degani never fully compensated Rich for the designs or the
time he spent working for this directionless company, yet Degani sued Rich for
taking his own airplane when he left for Brazil. God evened the score at the
end of that Ilopango runway.
The type fonts used on the factroy prototype TR-4 for KIS was a italic sans serif
or gothic type font. The Cruiser type font is a really old type face called
Brush (this font may have other names - people change it slightly and call it
something else to save paying royalties). When I printed things I used Palatino
bold Italic a standard font on the MAC platform for the KIS logo. Attached
is a picture off the first TR-4 brochure. It has Souvenir (a funky 70s type font)
used for KIS which was the wrong font but I had trouble figuring out what
the face was from the poor quality pics Rich sent me. But the Cruiser part on
this pic is correct.

I know it isn't an "official" logo but I like the one Dave Tate made for SN
4052. I still have the original one inside the airplane as a testament to
Dave and his work.

Hello All
Thanks for the input Mark, when I Google the "Brush" font used for "Cruiser" I
get something completely different so if somebody has a better indication of a
font name for the Cruiser script I'd appreciate it.
Thanks again
Mike
