George Moore’s KIS TR-1 is for sale.
Like many builders before, sometime just past the mid 1990s George took a trip out west to see the KIS up close. He went for a ride with Rich in the TR-1, examined the TR-4, and toured the small airplane shop in Oxnard, California. Not long afterward he took delivery of KIS TR-1 kit # 085. He persevered, and the kit was completed in 2001. George has been flying it ever since. George was one of early the pioneers of the Subaru engine conversion and contributed to a Contact Magazine article entitled “Why you should know your ECU; Three Case Studies”. His Subaru experience has proven the Subaru to be a reliable workhorse in the air. George notes his KIS is an excellent performing aircraft and an all around great flying airplane. It has been everything he expected it to be and more. The build features an extended elevator by two inches. The main landing gear is in the stock position and George reports handling in the landing mode to be adequate in this configuration. This airplane has a high level of fit and finish with excellent workmanship exhibited through out the airplane. The well appointed interior has comfortable temperfoam cushions. It is a ten inside and out and a head turner where ever it goes. The airplane has served George well for many years but regrettably it has come time find a new home for it.
