Mine failed at 220 Hrs. I fitted P/Nos 531325, 530407, 632050, 653982 and 653983. Now have 405 hrs so i guess it's too early to tell if it was totally successful. However, my 'new' couplin ...

Thank you for the information. How long have you had the P-Tip prop? Have you experienced any problems with it? Have you got a wooden or carbon fibre prop?

Thank you for the link; I think the Elipse prop may be a bit too 'cutting edge' for our LAA here in the UK.

Alfred. Terrible news.
I have the vernier throttle on my Kis and quite like it as it allows fine MAP adjustments as i have an electric variable pitch prop.
I know of a part-built Kis in the UK th ...

Rich and all

Thanks for the advice. I've just removed my nose leg for straightening and found the 'pin' that holds the stub into the tube.

Rather than straightening the original leg, I' ...

Rich/OC

I may be confusing things somewhat. I have always assumed that my nose leg was a solid bar but to be honest, I've never checked. Certainly the threaded portion that the castor assembly ...

Hello Guys

Does anyone know what metal the second generation (solid round bar) nose leg is made from. I understand that the mounting weldment is 4130; but is the round bar also 4130?

Hello all

I'm not sure if this is worth anything to the discussion but there's a video on youtube of my TR-1 landing on a short grass strip last weekend.

Hello all.

I thought you might be interested to know that I've posted a video on Youtube of some flying I did in my KIS G-BZDR in formation with a friend's Dyn Aero MCR01.
