    MY NEW REBUILT PROJECT
    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

  22. ALESSANDRO added a post in a topic KFM 112 engine wanted   

    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.

    STRUCTURAL ADHESIVE TO GLUE RIBS TO THE WING SPAR
    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.
