    Anyone has the layout with the dimensions of the curved rudder type MARK IV?

    Thank you.

    Looks an awful lot like my 'C' model, modified doors and cowl though - my doors have no aluminum on them, and the cowl isn't split down the middle like that.

     

    Cowl is modified due to KFM112 engine installation but I will change with original if possible or will modify it.

    Here is my new restoration project.

    It is a 1990 model with a KFM 112 engine - total engine and airframe is 329 hours since new.

    Suffered light damage to the left wing when taxiing too close to the hangar.

    It is originally a tri-gear but will be transformed into a TD.

    I have estimated about 2 years of work due to the little free time I have but I hope to be able to anticipate.

    If anyone can tell me exactly what model it is, I'll be happy.

    In a couple of months I'll get an Avid to rebuild that has a KFM112 installed.

    If they also give me the manuals I will send you a copy in PDF. 

    Alternatively, I live in Italy about 10 miles from the IAME manufacturer who produced these splendid engines about 30 years ago and I could try to ask if the technical manuals are still available in their technical office. 

    You just have to be patient

    Hello,

    I just purchased an AVID FLYER for a rebuild that I will start in 2 or 3 months. The installed engine is a KFM112 with about 300 hours of operation and has been standing still for many years but I don't want to sell it.

    I live about 15 KM from the factory that built these engines in 1990 and even if they no longer produce them I will have to contact them to see if they still have spare parts available.

    As soon as I receive information about it, I will update you.

    Greetings.

    This is my first post on this forum.

    Soon I will start rebuilding an Avid and 30 years have passed since its entry into service.

    I ask the more experienced what kind of glue or adhesive is used to glue the ribs to the wing spars. Is there a recently released product or should the old be used?

    Thanks for your comments.
