    Hi all 

     try call the no, on the avid magnum and Catalina add, it’s Jim and Kim (Tomash) probably misspelled. I can start checking on my end if there’s a weld shop that can copy mine, what engine are you planning to use 

    thx B well  rjg

        Well I have bin reading that add for a month,and can’t stop thinking about it . I’m positive this won’t work but could 3 or 4 of us go together buy it decide who would build and supply witch major components? Say 1- wings.fiberglass components      2- fuselage   3 -control surfaces and landing gear. 4 - or some thing like that (pipe dream)

        Thx rjg

         I have found definitely 2 rudder nights 48” & 53” I saw a hand written note in a magnum build manual that indicates a 55” variant also .it would be relatively easy to bend and weld in new tubing, I’m interested in if  the vertical stabilizer is the same on all magnums or changes with rudder size , and are the  horizontal stabilizer and elevator different ?

    thx rjg

    I           measured my rudder it’s 48”, at some point someone wrote in papers with my kit the later rudders were 55” and earlier magnums had 51” rudders 

    thx rjg

         Hi all got my magnum in May. No progress yet, just a few more items around the house then it’s plane time .

    planing wider gear,and O-320 for 170 hp, anyone know if a perticular model of O-320 works better or worse on the magnum? Mine have a dynafocal motor Mount , as soon as I figure how to insert pics I will 

    thx rjg

       Hi ak 

         more than likely I’ll need gear for a magnum, taller ,wider , rubber puck ,in your opinion is 1.25 in. Good for the 1750# 

    mto magnum 

    thx rjg
