| Subject: | Blanquita went to OSHKOSH 2024 |
For Airventure 2024, I flew "Blanquita" from St. Augustine to Oshkosh. I
was asked to display her at the Aertomomentum / Aerotranscendent booth,
next to the tower, to show off the KIS4 aircraft.
Aerotranscendent and Aeromomentum have partnered up to put the KIS4 kit
back into production. The airplane will have some of the upgrades we, the
KIS4 community, have recommended and will be called the AXI4 due to legal
issues. Otherwise it is the exact same airplane. Mark Kettering
(Aeromomentum) has more details about the project.
While there 4 KIS owners/builders I did not know about visited the booth
and we got to chat quite a bit. I really hope this project "takes off". ;)

Wonderful, Galen! My little bird is getting painted so I=99ll share
pictures
when I get her back. (Getting rid of the rather obnoxious eagle head and
any last traces of the previous jackass =9Cbuilder=9D
)
If you talk to Mark, one recommendation I have for the design is to add
about 3=C2=B0 of negative incidence on the horizontal stab. As it is now w
ith
0=C2=B0 incidence, I had to add springs to the elevator in order to have en
ough
trim authority with flaps down.
Also, the builders manual needs a complete revamp, of course.
Hope you had fun!

And the weather SUCKED both ways. Going there I had to divert from Athens,
GA around Atlanta to LaGrange, GA then to Rome, GA before I could make it
to Lafayette, TN. Departing Oshkosh I had to divert because of weather to
the West of Chicago then back through the weather to the East before I
could continue on to Lafayette, TN. Then from LAfayette, TN to St.
Augustins, weather made me divert to the west of Atlanta, then back East to
Waycross, GA before continuing on to St. Augustine. Good thing I am IFR
current and "Blanquita" is well equipped for these types of situations.
It was a total of 16.4 hrs of flying, almost all of it in IFR conditions.
