    Where I'm at right now/ I have borescoped the engine, and the interior is clean as a hound's tooth. Compressions are over 110PSI on the starter. Oil pressure on the starter 25 psi.To this point I still have no idea what engine I have. There is a new set of spare pistons/jugs that are marked 91.95. I( have to look into the engine again with the borescope to see what's in there.
    I have the test stand nearly done, and as soon as I fabricate an instrument panel for it, I will run the engine up on the test stand. I fabricated an intake system "Y" pipe out of schedule 40 PVC to test it and get dimensions, , but a buddy came up with the intake system off a Great Plains that will fit. If I can find a local metal fabricator that can mandrel bend thin wall, I'll copy it.
    I did a W&B on the plane, and it weighs 540 lbs dry, but the c.g is at 9" behind the leading edge, which is too far forward. I expected that.
    Plan is to run the engine on the test stand, then deal with the airframe. I recognize that it may be a one person airplane, but in over ten years, I have flown a passenger less than a dozen times anyhow.

    Despite what was claimed, I am relatively certain that the plane is actually a "B" model extended speedwing. It has an offset rudder, a side radiator, and  ASUZA wheels with mechanical brakes. Also 3/4 inch lift struts. Probably 950 lbs gross.

    Avid with a Volkswagen
    I picked up an AVID last week. The plane appears to be a "C" Model extended speedwing. . .062 spars, 3/4 inch lift struts. HAs  "B" model cowl, radiator on the side.
    The airframe seems to be in good condition, does not seem to have much wear. It has been flown little, if at all. No registration, no logs. It apparently had a Rotax 532 on it at one time.
    At present, there is a HAPI (VW) engine mounted on the airframe. I believe it is a 1600. There is little evidence that it has ever been run on that airframe. For certain it has never flown in that configuration, as the instruments and controls are more appropriate to the Rotax. I'm still evaluating what I have.
    Has anyone actually flown an AVID  with a HAPI on it ?  
    Present plan is to build an engine test stand and see if I can get the HAPI to run mostly out of curiosity. Before that I will do a Weight and Balance. Probably wind up with a ROTAX 582 on it.
    Looking for information. Thanks
