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.

     1. 01:18 PM - Never Assume Anything During Maintenance  (Galin Hernandez)

Subject: Never Assume Anything During Maintenance

I was putting all the cowls back on my airplane after finishing the annual
condition inspection and accidentally dropped a screw into the bottom cowl
of the engine compartment. The washer fell on the floor and was easily
found but I couldn't find the screw. After looking all over and even
running a magnet into the cowl it seemed that the screw had rolled
somewhere on the3 floor near the washer but where I couldn't see it. Even
though I was sure it was somewhere on the floor I decided to take the
bottom cowl off, not easy to do with a 3 bladed prop, and confirm it wasn't
still in the engine compartment.

After a few minutes of searching I found the screw jammed in the alternator
firmly against the alternator belt. You can see it in the attached photo. I
don't even want to imagine what would have happened if I had started the
engine with the screw there.

*Morale of the story, make sure you account for all parts and tools after
any maintenance on your airplane before flying!*

A follow up question, would the operating limitations be a part of the
aircraft logs and not a different document?
