Hello everyone, I am in the process of finalizing a deal on an Avid Flyer Model C. It was constucted in the 90's, the engine has 44.5 hours total time on it (Rotax 532) and the airframe was 4.5 hours total time on it. It has been in heated storage everyday of its life except the two days it was at an airfield in 2002. This machine is in, incredible condition, and I'm wondering before finalizing a deal on it on Feb 20 - what things should I know. 
- For example I have heard that the fibreglass tanks (from forums online) if not constructed with Ethanol resistant resin, are prone to leaking? What resin came with the initial kits? Was it Ethanol resistant? Or was that not an option back in the 90's
- What else should I ask before signing on the dotted line?
- I have a BRP/Rotax certified factory mechanic that knows the engine well since the 90's, he is going to tear it down and rebuild what needs to be done. So I really don't have a lot of fear in the engine. ( Expect it to be replace plugs, gaskets, check all seals and ignitions, check crank, check crank seals, pull a piston, look at the rings, check all bearings etc... ( I don't expect there to be much problems, but all gaskets for the engine and gearbox will be replaced to make servicable.
- The bungee will be replaced for the gear just due to sheer caution about the age. The wheels are off the ground, the axles are sitting on blocks, so the wheels are not in contact with the ground for over 15 years.
- The plane has been under plastic sheeting now for 15 years, the dust on the plastic is crazy. The plane is like new. I am just looking for what I should ask from fellow Avid Flyer Model C owners that know what to ask / what to look for....
Thanks!
