It has a high hour 582 bluetop (255 hours). Compressions and bearings are all good so I am not overly worried....especially as I paid less than $6k for it. It is ultra different to flying Cherokees 6's which I am used to....but it is massively cheaper for simply burning holes in the sky just for the fun of it.
It used to be a tail dragger but some monster converted to a nose pusher. A few things I want to do it:
1) Convert it back to tail dragger. I have seen some undercarriage options from Airdale, but they don't respond to email or answer the phone. Does anyone know if they are still in business? or anywhere else I can get taildragger kit from?
2) I want to replace the doors the Perspex or whatever it is called these days. Again anyone know where I can buy a set from?

Hi All,
So I decided to buy bargain of an Avid MKIV.
