Pulsar
I understand they are going through an ownership change; does anybody
know exactly what's going on? They do not answer emails. I haven't tried calling, but as someone who's considering a KIS Cruiser and will be making a kit choice pretty soon, what I'm seeing so far from the factory is not encouraging. ~Paul Folbrecht ~PP-SEL ~C-152, N89795 ~MWC ~Soon to be building: RV-10, KIS Cruiser, Velocity SE FG, or all three. |

Pulsar aircraft is currently moving their operations. I believe they are
moving out of the country due to manufacturing costs. They did occupy a hangar at El Monte airport and were moving out last week. "Paul Folbrecht" wrote in message ...

Pulsar (Also KIS TR1 and TR4) is not changing ownership but is changing management and moving production out of the country to El Savadore. Rich Trickle, who was the original owner of TRI-R Composites and produced the KIS and KIS Cruiser, will be running the production operations. A new manager has replaced Solly at Pulsar and hopefully the operations will be on a much better focus than over the last few years. This is a good thing and should prove to be plus for both the builders and company. Solly was not a plus for Pulsar and prior to this current change, I would have recommended against the KIS Cruiser or at least recommended purchase of the entire kit at one time and payment based on NO backordered parts. I would still recommend watching for the next few months to see how the process shakes down. I know Rich and while he wasn't the greatest at sales and promotions of the KIS line of aircraft, he does produce a quality product and always made sure that everyone got all the parts for their aircraft.
