  1. Gentlemen, 

    I am not having any luck contacting Green Sky Adventures to purchase a HACman Mixture Control Kit.  If anyone knows the story about Green Sky Adventures or has a HACman that they want to sell please let me know.  Thanks Brad 208-631-1425 give me a call or text.

  2. I just completed replacing the Skylight/Windshield on my Skyraider (just between you and me) and used 1/16” Solar Grey #130 Tinted Lexan and it came out very nice. I got  a 48 x 96” piece, shipped to Idaho for $186. I did the skylight/windshield, two side windows and had a 31” x 42” piece extra. I ordered it from POPDisplays on ebay. 


  3. Looking for a good used Airtech RK 400 clutch for my Rotax 582.  

    Give me a call, leave a message, send me a text, send me a PM, your choice.

    Thanks Brad

    OK, I get it...nobody has a used one. Who knows where I can get a good deal on a NEW one?  Usually I can find a dealer that sells parts less than manufacturer list price. $550 is list price and so far that's the best deal I can find. I need HELP.
    Thanks, Brad

    Guys, I found a new one on eBay, good deal, thanks for helping.

  4. Gentlemen,

    On a stretched Avid where do we want the landing gear axel in relation to the wing leading edge, with a level fuselage?  Who out there has a flying stretched Avid Flyer?  If you are using the stock gear or other gear, how are the handling characters?  I am going to do the Randy Tyler 18" stretch on my B Model (modified), using an APEX engine. When I make my gear made should I put the axel plumb with the leading edge, 1" forward, etc?  Placement of the axel will effect a lot of things, tail heaviness for ground handling, getting the tail up on takeoff, nose heaviness on landing using heavy breaking and could also increase propensity for ground looping.  

    My old Luscombe 8A with a C-65 had very nice ground handling characteristics, I sold it and purchased a 8E with a C-85 which was much more nose heavy and more sensitive to Rudder input with the mains on the ground.  

    Thanks to all of you who contribute to this forum. "Without all of you and your experience, the rest of us would have to reinvent the wheel"

    Thanks, Brad


  5. Neil,

    I have a stock Mk 4 rudder that I am not using, will need it eventually, if you want to try it and see if you like it. Where do you live?  I'm in Boise, ID. If you pay shipping both ways I'm good with it. I can't get it shipped till the end of the month, I'm out of town, (country)

  7. OK guys, big surprises on this prop. Just got off the phone with IVOPROP.  The hub fits a Rotax 912 80 hp Ser 415 and up. Also, 912 ULS, 914 or 915. The blades WILL NOT work on the previous Rotax engines. The blades WOULD work on a Rotax 582 with a 3:1 ratio box. The hub doesn't fit the 582. 

    The blades would work on a KR2 with a Corvair engine. 

    MAKE ME AN OFFER
