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 still have the original one inside the airplane as a testament to Dave and his work. On Tue, Jul 7, 2015 at 8:22 AM, mark_trickel wrote: > > Hello Robert, and other TR-4 fans.
