Hey Joey.   Sitting at about 6k for a project.  

Ed he is about 7 hours away and is the owners son.  It hasn't left the ground in 12 years.  So needs to be gone over.  Also he's asking 8k and says 6k is to cheap. So it's just out of my range for a project that big. 

ya that's what I have read.  That's why I just can't pull the trigger on that one and go take a look.   

it doesn't matter.   

Here's another one I found with a vw in it.  Has over 100hrs with that motor and full logs etc. 

I know but I sold it to buy another one and the other sold the same day.  So now I'm plane less 

It was a model A.  Serial number 106.    All the wood was rotted.  Just to much time for me right now.   

Hi guys as you know I'm new to this and obsessed with these planes. I just sold a total project avid A.  I am looking for another one that is a little more structurally sound.   Looking for a good project.  Having a hard time making up my mind as all the planes I look in to eaither sold or are just out of budget right now.  Any recommendations?  I'm a new pilot and still very early in the process.  Just like the idea of tinkering on one while I learn.   I know I should be focusing on flight school but for some reason I can't get these plane out of my head.   Any of your guys advice would be greatly appreciated.  

Any one fly out of chino or corona or close to so cal.   Want to see a avid up close    Thanks Keith.  

Good afternoon guys.  Anyone know where I can get a copy of the builders manual for a model A?  Saw the one on this page but was wondering if there was a better copy out there thanks Keith 

What engine are you running? Also what are your rebuild and tare down times like 

Yep your right. All about how you run them.  Can't just set the throttle and then leave it.  You need to clear them out and I always am a fan of a lil Ritch and clearing them out. 

I have worked on tons of 2 stroke motors from seadoos to dirtbikes.  Guess that's my only concern as I have seen these motors go south fast. Not as reliable as a 4 stroke.   But that's why I'm posting here to get some advice on if it's a good safe bet 

Yep it's that one that was on Craig's list.  Ya total strip down and rebuild.   Still trying to figure out if it's really what I want to do.   I am working on my PPL and just want a good recreation flyer. Always wanted a Cessna 120 but this seams close and cheaper 

Also only info I have as of now it it's a 1986 serial number 109 

Hi.  I'm in southern Ca.    The ribs have water damage on them. Some are just plain rotten others just pealing up. I figured I have a few good ones I can make them but was wondering if I can just buy to save time 

Hi guys new to all of this and looking at restoring a avid flyer 1986.  I am wondering if anyone sells a rib kit for the wings?  Any advice would be helpful. Thank Keith
