  1. Doublecluch added a post in a topic What would you do?   

    I had considered keeping  and "rebuilding" it, basically stretching the fuselage And making it my own. I bought it from someone who purchased it from the registered owner. I think he might have been unloading a paperwork problem himself. I'll have to do some looking around and maybe I can get ahold of him (the builder). I think the gross weight is just over 900lb , with a useful load is about 450 With that Volkswagen on front. Another option I was given was to basically make it airworthy and I could fly it off private property. Maybe the easy option would be to sell it as parts to someone else.

    What would you do?
    I'mm looking for a little advice. 
    As some of you know I own an Avid A model tail number 146 AF serial number is the same. Think I bought it maybe a year and a half, 2 years ago in the hopes of using it to get my license in. Didn't realize just how tiny these little fellas are. Anyways I made a major rookie mistake didn't quite understand what it meant when he told me that it's been deregistered for safety purposes.  I have no registration or airworthiness I do have airplane and engine logs. I've been told by a local a&p that I'm pretty much SOL getting it registered AGAIN. I was told my best bet would be to sell it as parts to recoup some of my money and use that towards flight lessons. It's a complete airplane  with a 1830 Volkswagen on it along with a good time 582 with  mount. So just looking for a little advice as to what you would do.

    This is a top view from the back side. The tape is where the filler neck goes. I have a kitfox dash tank that is nothing like this one. But this will fit. Haven't been able to look at the front but if I remember correctly there aren't any built in rubber mounts.

     I'll have to look and see the size of my opening in my tank. I'm going to have to fabricate mounts anyways so never know..

    These are all great. Thanks for the inspiration guys. I ended up finding an original dash tank. So the big one will be coming out and minimal gauges going into the small panel in the center.. maybe a small tablet with flanking gauges.

    And I was thinking eventually upgrading to a 670. Isn't the mark for fuselage the same size just has metal stringers instead of wood?

    ISO 582 mount for Avid
    I'm looking for a 582 mount for my Avid.
    On a completely other end of the spectrum. I'm strongly considering selling my Avid A 
    With that Volkswagen up front it's just a little too heavy and doesn't really meet my purpose. Might be a little happier if I can put the 582 on that I have. Or sell all of it and purchase something a little more mission appropriate. 
    If anybody has a line on a mount let me know. Jeff

    Hey guys thanks for all the comments. Flight lesson number two is in the books as of this morning. Everything went fantastic. This time around was a 172, and for the rest of the flights for that matter. Couple spots got a little tickly queasy but nothing like the last time that's for sure. I really want to thank all of you for the stories and encouragement. I was a little skeptical there for a second thinking oh Lord I'm going to have to walk away from this. But I got it.

    Thanks guys, this is all great advice. I have my next lesson scheduled for Monday morning at 9 am. This time I'll make sure I pay more attention outside the plane instead of in. I'm going to power through this and get that ticket.

    Best pilot ever! Sounds good to me.
     A friend has suggested some anti-nausea pills and even a wristband? They sell at Walmart? I figured I would have to power through this and see how it goes.
    Thanks guys.
