Yep that’s my plane.   I think it’s in great condition.  Had a lot of tire kickers and a few crazy people inquiring about it.

just a note to anyone that contracts me about this aircraft. DO YOUR RESEARCH ONLINE FIRST before contacting me.   Questions like how far will it go on a tank of fuel.   My answer is. it will go until you run out.   And also. No pre purchase flights and better yet don’t think your going to preform a punch test.   Anyone who knows anything understands what I’m talking about.

have a great day

Great info.   Now the work begins.  Thanks Joe

Jim  thanks for the reply.  Question. Do you cut notch for each rib tails or install in short sections?

thanks Joe

Hello All

wonder if anyone has done away with the trailing edge wire when recovering the wings. and if so what did you do different?

regrads Joe

I would like more information on the transponder.   Antenna, Wire harness, tray?   Thanks Joe

Very nice work, I would like to know what the dollar amount you have in the coverings.

What engine are you running now?

I have been fallowing your progress since you got this plane, you have made great progress and its looking good.   I see you got the new hoses installed, did you keep all the hose information, size and length?  As far as the muffler mounting brackets. They also look great.  Regards Joe

Hello all

i have the second chantz mounted in my avid. The way I see it in my location with the mountains we need to navigate over, thru around, I would rather have the opportunity to pull that T handle and ride her out to the bottom when the prop quits turning or the airframe has some sort of failure.

if you would like some photos of the mounting and cable connection area I can get them tomorrow.

regards Joe

Great info.  Thanks for the reply 

Hello

so I have the master cylinders already but will need the mechanical toe levers, so what do you think can a guy fab up these parts? It doesn't look to complicated.

and question for you that have installed these, was there any issues with teeing into the system?

regards Joe

Just some thoughts from up north.  Maybe plan on going for an adventure this weekend and see is this dude will take you up for a few laps around the field, you may just get into this bird and say this plane is not for me.

 As far as your training time,  I think I had 4 hours in the log book when I purchased my first aircraft, best decision I made in regards to flight training.

regards Joe

Richard  where are you located?  I'm interested in the Terra 250, and what are asking for that unit?   Regards Joe

Question for anyone that has the second chantz or BRS aircraft parachute system. I would like to know what type of coverings you have at the area where the chute departs the aircraft?  This one has a hole cut into the turtle deck with some unpainted lite fabric covering the hole that needs replacing.   Regards Joe

So the test fitting is good,  it should be something like this when finished.  I had this section of 5 in ducting rat holed away, when I started it was at 5ft and I ended up with about 50 inches long and 3.4 lb. I'm going to do some searches to see if I can get something a bit less in weight with the end caps on.  Regards Joe

Thanks for the replies    I just remembered I have a section of 4 inch ducting tin   I should cut it to the length needed and try some test fitting and go from that.   Regards Joe

Thanks for the reply.  The cargo bag won't work, I have the parachute mounted just above the battery.   I think Jim C has the side door on one of his planes but I can't find that info.    I thinking 36 inches long is what a will need. Regards Joe

Hello. Was wondering what people have added for a storage/cargo. What I'm looking to do is add something that will hold the wing support rods, window covers, fishing rod and a few hand tools.   Maybe a section of PVC pipe would work.   Any thoughts or photos.   Regards Joe

I was running the 582 today after replacing some fuel system parts.   So the charging system seem not to be working.  Battery voltage @12.38.    Did some wire chasing and found the power wire to voltage regulator was to a constant power post at back of key switch and then to a glass fuse.   My question is  does this unit need to be on a + continuous power supply or can it be to a keyed source?   And the new 15 amp fuse got me 13.58 volts at the battery post.     Regards Joe

Ok. So I just was out looking at my hyd fittings.      Try a search on Jiffy-Tite 2000 series.   They come in 1/8 NPT.     I would think they will hold the pressure you are working with.    But please do your due diligence in regards to max working pressure, the one I'm using will hold 3000 psi.   Joe

There's that hose supply store on the old Hwy near the Dimond mall in Anchorage.    They should have them.  They will be very much like a air line quick coupler    We use them for auto lube system on heavy equipment       Regards Joe

Could you post a few photos of the installed VG,s.      I had tested some many years ago on a low wing aircraft.   Regards Joe

I was under the impression you could hit a button and someone on the other end could see that you are still alive.  Also the option for some remote rescue.   I'm curious about this also.   Regards Joe

Maybe look at Cole Hersee.     We use these often for mounting smaller switches into a larger hole.    If I had a little better sat connection today I would screen shot a photo of one.       Anyhow.  Just Google search Cole Hersee bezel switch.    Regards Joe

Yes I see prices all over the board.  I just missed out on a early 90s Avid with the 532 engine  looked like a hard landing and the paperwork was all jacked up. But $1900.00 was a screaming deal.   The nice thing about this plane stuff is you can walk in with some cash and take it or leave it.  Regards Joe
