Avid Bart added a topic in Local Fly in's
Iceport 2025I'm planning on flying the Avid up to Lake Mille Lacs for Iceport on March 1st. I know one other guy who is planning on flying his Kitfox in as well. Just wanted to get the word out if there is anyone else in the Minnesota area that can make it and we can have an Avid/KF presence.

Avid Bart added a post in a topic Centering the vertical stabilizer on early Avids
I'm hoping to get back working on my c model Avid once it warms up. I am planning on cutting the tail apart to get rid of the offset. I suppose it is going to add a bunch of extra work but it will be worth it if I end up putting a right turning engine on the plane.
You could probably leave the offset tail but I would imagine you would need a lot of right rudder to counteract both the tail and the right turning tendencies.

Avid Bart added a post in a topic Have the forums all died?
I'm guilty of lurking as well. I check in every few days to see what's new but it has been quiet here the last few years. I have never really been a fan of forum type content on Facebook and now it seems every other post is a scam trying to rip people off.
Even aviation videos on Youtube are dead compared to five years ago. I think the Flying Cowboys died off with Draco.

Thanks for the update, Jim. I'll be thinking of you and hope you get some good news from the surgeon.

Thanks for posting the news, TJay. Ed's posts were always interesting. I wish I could have met him in person. He will be missed on the forum.

There is a set of Aeroset 1100's on Marketplace in Northern MN that someone has for sale. They are mounted on a Kitfox.

Nice work, TJay!
How did you determine each weight should be 600 grams?

That's not bad at all considering the time savings. Your wings are turning out very nice.

Thanks for the video, TJay. Nice work!
I'm curious what it cost to have the parts cut out.

Avid Bart added a post in a topic Speed wing ribs
It is not a Solidworks format. The scans were done on an industrial 3D measurement system and the 3D format is not open and usable in other software. The best I can do is the bitmap images that I posted above.
It should be possible to import the bmp images into Solidworks and draw the parts. I have done this many times in Autocad.

Unfortunately I do not. The 3D image is not an open format that can be used for 3D printing.

What plane do you need measurements for? I have an Avid C and Mk4 that I can measure.

Avid Bart added a post in a topic Speed wing ribs
Here are some images of the speed and undercambered ribs that I scanned in 3D and then converted to bitmap images. These images are very accurate with no distortion and could be used to make patterns. You will just need to have them printed at a scale where the spar center to center measurement is 27.5"
