Hi Kis Gang,

I have had trouble as many of you have at landing the two place Kis. I have had to cross the fence at about 80 mph indicated with a touch down around 75. I've tried slower only to plant it on and drag the tail. I touched the rudder and sanded about 1/2" off the bottom of it and am lucky that was all. Anyway, I put VG's on the bottom side of the horizontal stabilizer, which did wonders and now on the wing. For the first time, when I put the flaps down the nose pitches down. I am crossing the fence at about 75 mph with a true touch down at 65. I can control it and hold it off for the first time until it sets down very gentle. I know these things have been cursed but I will not fly again without them. It has changed the whole complexion of this machine. I feel that at last I have a flying machine. Any comments from you.

Jesse Wright

I had the same experience with my TR-4. The VG's on my elevator worked wonders and it was cheaper than trying to build a bigger elevator. Also my new all glass instrument panel installation is nearing completion. I hope to have the airplane back in the air within 2-3 more weeks. You can see pictures at my webpage: www.puertoricoflyer.com

Hey TR-1 owners. I have a set of VG's for a TR-1. Never used as my TR-1 was destroyed and surfaces to put them on disappeared. Will sell. Bob
