  1. Any one in N.W. U.S have a good tail dragger project for sale?

    Roy

    I have an Avid Flyer project for sale in Portland, Oregon for $4,800.

    Everything FWB is included except for covering.

    It includes a VW with PSRU, but no engine mount or propeller.

    The airplane has been flown, has an A/W certificate and had registration numbers.

    The person completing this airplane could use the existing A/W certificate.

    If the DAR will agree, new A/W and repairman certificates could be issued and then the new owner could perform their own annual condition inspections.

    I am the third owner of the airplane.

    Airplane includes hydraulic brakes and strobes

    Instrumentation includes:

    Radio, transponder, air speed, altimeter, slip ball, tach, water temperature, EGT, voltmeter, hobbs meter, ELT

    To my knowledge this is the situation regarding the airplane:

    The original owner used a Rotax 582

    The second owner did the following:

    Stripped the plane for recovering

    Bought a new wing and landing gear

    Built the replacement wing

    Modified the stabilizer and elevators to be the same as a MK4

    Removed the model B offset from the vertical fin

    Bought a MK4 rudder

    Bought a model C engine cowl

    Built an engine mount for a Jabiru 2200

    Serial number 352

    Manual calls it a model B

    The original wing is a model B with a gas tank

    The wing struts are model B

    The fuselage is a model C

    The new wing is a model C with a gas tank

    The tail feathers are MK4

    Model B and model C engine cowls

    VW engine

    1775 cc (90.5 mm bore x 69 mm stroke)

    Single ignition, distributor

    Electric starter

    Diehl back case and alternator

    1.74:1 belt PSRU
