I'd love to see the looks on peoples faces when you fired up your plane and it sounded like this

Edit: Found a video of this plane

Cool float landing

Not an Avid but still a cool vid of precision landing

I think he needs to give this guy a lesson on spot landings

That pic was from an Ad on Barnstormers. The caption at the top of the picture is what he put in the Ad.

Welcome Dave - Guess you have heard enough on here to want to stick around and share your experiences and about your bird with this bunch of builders and flyers. Congratulations on owning an Avid - Now, you just have to fly it and write and post photos here.

That's what I meant: Avid Clone = Kitfox...And the Kitfox builders think I am bad because I have a Kitfox Clone! I am not bad - Just a seriously independent redesigner.

Ha, Ha, who called them slats? Looks like a Kitfox to me.

Welcome Dave,
Great to have another Avid in the group. I hope the repairs and upgrades go quickly for you. The good flying weather doesn't stick around forever. Any pics of your project to share?

New Avid Flyer in ND

I have already posted on some of the fourms and have also been a member for a few months now but this is my official hello of sorts. My name is Dave and I live just outside Williston, ND. I have been flying off and on since I was 15 but didnt finish my PPL until 2009. Since my childhood, I have always been fascinated with bush pilots so it seemed a perfect fit that my first bird should be a taildragger. I picked up my 1996 Avid C model with the MK IV mods this April and have since then, been slowly going through it, repairing and changing a few things. I hope to have it in the air before the snow flies this winter and if not, i guess i will be adding some skis to it then.

Blue Skies!

How about a size and weight post on it, and can you hook it to a battery and test it?Does this only have one speed?

Thanks for a look into your world. Wow, with all that space seems like they could have slipped your Avid in there so you could play in your downtime.

I would prefer traditional c/b's but everthing is pretty spendy out there.

I'm going to start a new thread on wiring.

I am liking that fuse box! Will be a nice clean install! I think I may order one for my new panel! Thanks for the link to it

OK, now that I got it. Anyone want it? I occured to me after the fact, gee......I could use my m/c heated gear. don't really need a heater afterall. It's a dandy lil unit. $125 or best offer plus shipping.

I suspect you're correct about the 3rd radiator AK. When I asked the seller about it he said he put it on "because a buddy gave it to him". I'm thinking of mounting it in the cabin - making it a cabin heater .

Can't wait for the pics. I may just do this to my wings instead of using the KF IV ribs. It would not take much to reshape the bottom of the wing and re-cover it. Take a look at the jury struts that Carlson Aircraft have. I was planning on using these on mine for the tail braces one of these days too.
