John Petre - Construction Photos


Weight and Balance Program (DownLoad File)


John Petrie is just one of several KIS builders in South Africa. He is well along on his TR-4 KIS Cruiser project as can be seen from the these photos.

As can be seen from the photo on the right, John has had some problems determining which end is up but is receiving expert advice from a young aeronutical engineer who seems determined to make sure he gets it RIGHT!  They grow them young down there.  :-)

 John has also gone one step further and has designed a couple of modifications which will definately be included in my own project.  


I hope these are of interest to the rest of the guys and gals.
