  1. Yes sir the current owner found some pictures and what I think are build logs. I’m going to look at them as soon as I can! Thanks and I will get in touch with a DAR as well. 


  2. I talked a gentleman at FSDO in Memphis, he said without the build records (which I don’t think there are any) I t would be hard to prove the 51% rule. The owner is checking his papers to see if the original builder had any? Hopefully he can find something!


  3. Thank you again, another question, this plane has been de-registered and there’s no airworthiness certificate, what is the process to getting one? (No logs to speak of) I want to start over go through it, new fabric, 912, ect. 


  4. Yes sir, I’ll get him to measure the wing span. If it’s 30’ and with the other measurements would the e gross Wt be 1150- 1200? I’m pretty sure the thickness on the spar is .083 or are there some other factors involved?


  5. I guess I would ask, what is the wing span?  30' is Stol or Heavy Hauler version, 24' is speed wing version  The 7/8" dimension is diameter of the lift struts, but the .083" would usually be wall thickness of the spars that are used on Heavy Hauler or Aerobatic speed wings.  Not sure what the .187 thickness is referring to...  JImChuk


  6. I’m looking at an Avid to buy, I have read all the comments about what look for as for gross weight. This wing has 9 ribs 2 1/2” spars .187 thickness, that’s what the owner told me, 7/8” .083 lift struts, I have looked at the plane, before I new what to measure. Any help would be great, thanks Chris. Hopefully I will join the Avid flying community!
