Turbo added a post in a topic Sinking carb floats
Duuh! Just asked Google if ethanol dissolves epoxy. Answer is Yes! We all know it's bad for 2-strokes. So put that first half-gallon to full gallon in your car's tank first!

I have a yellow one, but have a place for it. Got a couple of the orange ones, but either the remote or the elt is no good on both.

The dead E-01 is yellow. I early had removed an orange Ameri-king (sp?) due to an AD.

wow it doesn't look all that wrecked. also the VWs do not like composite props. The impulse loading makes the crank go away. (Mostly because the aviation community is putting the prop on the WRONG end of the engine)

FS AVID A selling for partsA member of my EAA chapter recently passed away who had bought this aircraft. I'm helping his widow sell the plane.
https://www.icloud.com/photos/#02eOMy3b7XMx_PkewCPICOn3w
No current registration. I didn't dig too deep into the paperwork but sometime before 2006 the aircraft was wrecked and the FAA revoked the registration and airworthiness cert. The gentleman's goal was to get it airworthy but fell ill shortly after buying the plane.
It is a nose dragger with some flavor of VW on the front. The firewall has been beefed up for the heavier engine and in the pics you'll notice a elliptical shaped gas tank under the cockpit.
About all he managed to do was buy a 582 with a Kitfox motor mount. I didn't find any documentation(but didn't look carefully either) for the engine but it looks like it might have been recently overhauled as its nearly spotless. I did put a call into Rotax Rick and he said that without documentation it's worth about 2k.
As far as the rest of the aircraft goes I didn't look close but there's no obvious signs of major damage. Wings and Flaperons look to be in good condition.
Asking $6000 OBO. The widow wants it all gone at once, so no parting out unless you take the whole thing and do it yourself.
Located in Salt Lake City Utah
Call me if interested:

I can't believe that in 7 months there's no one with a set of 3.47 C gearbox gears setting on a garage/hanger shelf. Unobtainable parts I guess.

Another point is don't trust the gas station not to have alcohol contamination in their supposed clean fuel.
An easy way to test is with plain food coloring. Put a sample of fuel in a clear container and add a couple drops of food coloring and mix it. If it turns the fuel colored that means thee ethanol dissolved the water based die. If the food coloring just makes a droplet in the bottom and doesn't mix, you have clean fuel.

Turbo added a topic in Two Strokes
Sinking carb floatsHey y'all, Turbo here. 3 years ago sold my Avid. Now flying Corvair-powered Sonex. Can't complain about 3.5 gph at 125 mph. I only land on tarmac, though.
When I had the Avid, I fed it ethanol-free premium, like I feed my chainsaws. All went well until my first set of Bing carb floats sank! I bought new ones, but even they eventually sank! And I noticed that my epoxy gas tank was softening! I started wondering what bizarre chemistry was in that fuel. Got a clue much more recently, which I feel compelled to share. It could be due to ethanol! Many times, so-called ethanol-free gas really isn't, not due to any oil company shenanigans, but simply because many gas stations dispense ethanol-free gas from the same hose as the other grades, and the last guy who hosered up may have inadvertently left some 10-% ethanol, 87- octane gas in the hose! My advice (really from Chicanic) is to, after selecting the ethanol-free stuff, first put a half- gallon of gas into your car, then start filling those gas cans. This clears out the hose.
FWIW, Guys. Take care, and fly safe,
Turbo

Yet another rebuild questionI need 4 measurements to get this tail on right. It's a 4 classic. I hope some one can has a frame, or can feel the longerons just forward of the handle as indicated.
The tail was cutoff and I need to replace the cut and bent tubes.
Thank you in advance.
