Good day fellow KIS fans,
I have my fast and efficient KIS TR1 for sale as my mission has changed so
let me know if interested. I do have a question for the forum. A
potential buyer is asking to see the operating limitations of the airplane
to see if the airplane is restricted to VFR day only or it can be flown at
night. My KIS is fully equipped with navigation lights, beacons, landing
lights, etc for night operation. I did not build the airplane and I do not
see such a document within the logs, building manuals, registration
documents, etc. does anyone know if the operating limitations of the
airplane is an experimental requirement?
Thank you in advance for any information you can provide and let me know if
you have any questions about my KIS TR1 for sale at a great price for a
quick sale.
