SuberAvid, did you install VG’s on your flaperons?

I know this is an older thread and I am exposing my ignorance, but can someone explain what “ control reversal” is? Is this something specific to the Avid/Kitfox flaperon design?

Thanks for the response/info! I did not know that. This explains a lot. I am trying to figure out the “wing area” increase/difference between the Mk4 (STOL), the Magnum and the Catalina... So I guess now I need to figure out how wide the Magnum and Catalina fuselage is at the wing attach point?

Interesting, I wonder if Avid counted the shape of the “hull” as a “lift producing surface”...(maybe the logic behind counting the width of the fuselage in the “wing area” advertisement”)
So how much more “wing area” will the Catalina wings have over your extended wings on the Avid+ ?

Are the Catalina wings closer to 17ft per side?

I have a question (maybe an ignorant one)... if the Catalina wings measure 16 ft on each side and the wing chord is 51 inches, how do we get 150 sq ft of wing area? (This is what I am referencing for measurements and specifications...)

I now have 26 wing ribs...

Update to my quest for wing ribs...
Just before Christmas I ordered a set of ribs from Avidkitplanes.com in the hope that they were still alive and shipping orders. I now have an order shipment notification and tracking number!

I have no wisdom whatsoever on these birds! I read somewhere that Avid added a second set of jury struts to stiffen the longer wing spars and struts of the Catalina... I have looked often at the Catalina 150 sq ft wing area and wondered how they would perform on a Mk4... I simply asked an ignorant question out of my interest and excitement in your plan to actually use the Catalina wing on your bird!

I’m assuming you will keep the “dual” jury strut configuration of the Catalina?

HH, STOL, Undercamber, Heavy Hauler Wing ribs $200Hi Guys, I need a set (and then some) of wing ribs. At this point I would be happy with two or three ribs that I can copy/replicate for myself... this is my project...
To clarify, I am not looking for a handout... I am looking to PURCHASE said unobtanium/unicorn wing ribs... I would pay to ship and insure a single rib for the purpose of copying/replicating them if someone is willing to let me borrow one?
OK, I’m upping the ante...
I’m offering...
$200.00 for ONE single STOL/Heavy Hauler/Under Camber Avid Flyer wing rib.
Can you hear the song “Desperado” in the background? Haha...

I cannot get a response via email, is there a better way to connect with these guys? I ordered a set of ribs from them just hoping they are still alive/shipping parts...
(I am assuming you are talking about AvidKitPlanes.com?)

Paul, tried to PM you, your profile will not open for some reason... I am definitely going to change the rib tails/flaperon hangers to aluminum on whatever wing/ribs I end up with.

Thanks for the response guys. 1Avidflyer I will PM you on your wings.
TJay I have access to a great cross country/family wagon/factory spam can or however you refer to a Beach 19... so that’s the long excuse/answer I give for yes this will be a purpose built backcountry machine. Definitely not dreaming of STOL competitions or anything like that... love both your contributions to the forum and to “little guy GA” for that matter...
