LOOKS NICE. NOW YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO LOOK 

AT BESIDES JUST A PLAIN OLD COWLING..

HOPE ALL IS WELL FOR HIM AND HIS FAMILY.  

WAS WONDERING IF ANYBODY COULD POST SOME PIC'S OF UR AVID A MODEL EXHAUST SYSTEM OR FOR THAT MATTER ANY......  I HAVE A 532 ROTAX IN MINE AND IM STILL HAVING OVERHEATING PROBLEMS.   I THINK MINE HAS BEEN MODED AND THAT WOULD MAKE THE 2-STROKE SOUND WAVES ALL MESSED UP,  THEREFORE IT COULD BE RUNNING LEAN.  THANKS FOR THE HELP!!!

HOPE THIS HELPS.  BE NICE WHEN U CAN GET THEY BIRD BACK IN THE AIR.  NO MORE WELDING.    LOL

GOSH UR NICE WISH I COULD GET U TO SOLVE MY PROBLEM.  LOL  WHAT DO U GOT FOR OVERHEATING?????

Here u go c5e, got some pics of here on friday.  This if flight #6 and still having overheating issues.    replumbed it saturday night with all 1" hose.  Now there is no copper 90's or 45's in the system.  This should do the trick.   

WELL AFTER ADDING A BELY MOUNT RADIATOR AND SOME OTHER ODD BALL THINGS WERE OFF.  IT WAS GETTING A LITTLE HOT WITH THE TWIN MOUNT RADIATOR SO I ADDED A BELY MOUNT.  DOES NOT GET HOT ANYMORE ON THE GROUND SO I CANT SEE IT GETTING HOT IN THE AIR.  I'LL TAKE SOME VIDEO OF THE FLIGHT, AND POST IT TONIGHT.  SHOULD BE A NICE DAY, SO FAR IT'S BLUE BIRD SKY'S AND NO WIND. 

I HAVENT FLOWN WITH THE DOORS OPEN YET.  BUT I THINK IF YOU USE A STRONG DOOR STRUT IT SHOULD HOLD IT FROM FLUTERING. WHEN MY DOOR IS OPEN I CAN PUSH ON IT AND IT WILL NOT TOUCH MY WING.  GOOD LUCK HOPE IT WORKS OUT.  DONT SEE WHY IT WONT.

DONT KNOW IF THIS WILL HELP BUT MY DOOR IS 90 DEGREES FROM THE FUS WHEN ITS OPEN..  ITS 1.25" FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE WING. 

GOOD LUCK.............

HERE IS MY LIFT STRUT INSTULATION ON MY AVID A.    THE LIFT STRUT BRAND I USED WAS SPRING LIFT.  MODEL # SL-1-40//    THE TOP MOUNTING BRACKET IS 1.5" LONG AND THE BOTTOM BRACKET IS 1" LONG.  FROM THE TOP OF THE DOOR FRAME TO THE TOP BRACKET IS 3.75" TO CENTER.  HOPE THIS HELPS.  SURE MAKES IT NICE NOT HOLDING THE DOOR OPEN TO GET IN OR OUT.  IF YOU NEED MORE PICS LET ME KNOW.   

HERE ARE A COUPLE MORE PICS.  HAD TO POST TWICE.  WOULD NOT LET ME PUT MORE THAN TWO PICS UP?????

HERE IS MY MOTOR MOUNT ON MY AVID A MODEL WITH A 532 ROTAX.  1/2 PLATE OF ALUM.  HOPE THIS HELPS. 

OH DONT BE SCARED. YOUR A ALASKAN BUSH PILOT LMFAO :biggun:
