     I've been wondering about the Rotax Rick engines. Look at them a look at them a few times  but the reviews have been kind of mixed. Great information. Thanks.  I'm completely naive with a lot of this (or all if this) would a 582 engine mount bolt directly to my fire wall?

     I was thinking the same thing. Apparently mine was never built with the header tank.  for some reason he put he put a 15 gallon tank under the fuselage.

    Haha yeah I'm trying to multitask and  not necessarily proofreading. I've heard that about the Volkswagen and it's not and it's not very and it's not very encouraging. But but but I'll but I'll figure it out.

    Dash redo and organize
    Hi, so I'm picking up my Avid A probably this weekend.  I definitely want to redo the dash. In my opinion it's way too cluttered and messy and distracting. It has Provisions for a portable radio but I would like to put a small Becker or something like that in the dash itself. I also need a transponder. I have an idea what I want to do but it is so tiny some pictures would be nice. If any of you guys have a similar playing with the small Dash I'd love to see what you did.

     I've been thinking the Yamaha I've been thinking the Yamaha might be a little too heavy. I've been thinking the Yamaha might be a little too heavy. Wondering how this Volkswagen is going to perform its supposed to have 80 horse. Although I'm sure it's nice and heavy. I've definitely been thinking about keeping everything as light as possible. If it's not needed it's not going in. I'm sure it doesn't help that the "pilot" is 230-235lbs.

    Hello from Utah
    Well hello everyone. Jeff here from the great state of Utah . I've been lurking around for some time, doing my best to absorb as much of the wealth of information here as possible. Now that I've signed the paperwork and bill of sale on my new Avid flyer project over the weekend I decided I should sign up and start  an account . Should be delivered sometime this week and I'm super excited. I say project because it's been deregistered (that's going to be fun) for a few years and needs  upgrades like, a transponder, probably a better radio, adjusting the seat so my 6'2 frame can fit, reorganizing the panel, bubble doors, and probably the biggest project removing the 1912 Volkswagen and throwing hopefully hey Yamaha Apex out front. I need some more horsepower for this altitude. Hopefully the little fella can handle it. I believe I'm dealing with an Avid Flyer model A. It's serial number 146. Since this is the introduction I'll be posting all of my questions on other threats. Thanks in advance.
