Now that the temperature here in Texas is climbing above 100 degrees F almost every day I always wonder how the increased density altitude is affecting the airplane's performance. So I made up an Excel spreadsheet with ESTIMATED performance calculations based on airplane loading, weather and runway conditions. I added the performance estimator in to another Excel worksheet that made up for TR-4 Weight & Balance calculation.
I have used it for the past few weeks and it seems to work but I don't fly enough to really put it through it's paces and verify how close the estimates are. So, I am attaching it here so others can try it and see if it is "close enough" and where "bugs" are that need to be fixed. I already know of one "bug" I need to fix, I just haven't figured out how to fix it yet.  )

Galin, I again wish to extend my invitation to stop by the Clinton Airport (GLY) and overnight on the way to AirvVenture. My plans are to leave Clinton around 8 AM, stop by Washington, Iowa for fuel and then go on to AirVenture.
Harry Cook, from Kerrville, and I have been doing this for the past 10 years or so.
Kent Pyle, 354 SE 100th Road, Clinton, MO 64735 660-885-2176 Cell 660-351-2420
Harry, Galin has the Kis Cruiser that I was checked out in in order to meet the insurance requirements for coverage for the first flight.

THANKS for the offer. I would LOVE to do this but I doubt I will have
the "time" ($$$) to go to Oshkosh this year. We went to Sun-N-Fun this
year and the wife has a wedding I have to go to so our flying budget
is very low right now. (
I do plan to make Oshkosh next year, God willing. But if there is a
change of plans I will let you know immediately. Do you fly your KIS
there? I want to fly mine there soon.
