Sorry, All I have is the muffler. I reused the pipes on my new setup.

Original from the factory, Rotax 912 Muffler. Exhaust pipe size is 1.250" Tail pipe is 1.75" and muffler OD is 4"

 This has approx 30hrs. of use on it. I added the flat strap between the muffler and tailpipe per Avid SB.

$300 shipped to the lower 48

 Anyone in the Tacoma Washington area with an Avid?

Thanks Chris. I didn't use certified scales when it was weighed but I came up with 667. As far as gas goes I assume you mean 6 GPH? If so I don't have the fuel flow option installed but, if I remember correctly for flight planning purposes I was burning under 5 gph at 52-5300rpm and cruising mid 90's.

It's time to sell the Avid Bought by my father in 1990 and stored shortly after for 20 years. I bought the kit in 2011 and received A/W in 2014.  Serial number 846 which makes it a model C but has many MKIV upgrades including the baggage compartment and dual wingtanks.  I raised the roof during construction to give an additional 3" of headroom and extended the aerobatic speedwings.

Painted with Stewart Systems Ekopoly

Really???? 

Almost a .070" gouge out of a .083" thick spar needs some definite surgery to make that safe.

You guys recommending smoothing that out need to look at the first pics again and take note the amount the digital caliper is open. 

The original post stating .006-,007" doesn't come close, apparently using that mode on the caliper throws people off. You can barely see a .007" gap between the caliper jaws.

I added three feet. I think that makes it the standard long wing length. If your wing is already built it wouldn't be the best idea to extend it more than 3' if you've built in the washout that the plans call for. The 2" of washout adds a lot of drag and extending beyond 3' could make the negative performance outweigh the benefits of the longer wing

I used Avids instructions when I extended my aerobatic speedwing. Use a 12" piece of .083 spar with about a 1/2" strip cut out lengthwise. mark a line at 6"and put a slight taper on both ends. squeeze with hose clamps and insert into the spar 6" I found a drill pattern online but there wasn't anything special about it. Pay attention where the slot is located and don't drill to close to those edges.

yes, I still have them

Here's the fix if your breaking the bolt for the steering rod.

Travis

Nope, not fuel. Those are oil lines that run between the engine and oil tank that's fitted under the baggage area.

here's a couple pics. just make a template from cardboard and cut a notch that will fit under the rear brace tube. I have about a 1/2" overlap in the center and there attached with some 1/4 long sheet metal screws into the tubes

To make a long story short, after a recent diagnosis of Rheumatoid Arthritis, being 6' 2" tall and having joint pain issues in the knees I'm considering selling my 2014 Avid model C approx. 60hrs. with raised skylight and turtledeck. 912ULS(350ish hrs.) extended aerobatic speed wing.

The plane is setup as a Tri gear now but I have the complete setup for tail dragger including a set of main gear and matco 6" tailwheel. The conversion to tail dragger was complete and approved by the local FSDO after I completed phase 1 and is noted in the logbook, including W&B.

The Kit was purchased new from Avid by my father in DEC. of 1990 and stored after a couple years. I started construction in 2011 and first flight around June of 2014

I know the value will be nowhere near whats been invested but I'm looking for opinions on how to value this.

Travis

Here's a simple mod that solves this problem.

I'm not sure how it compares to other Avids but I have it adjusted for max 5500 climb RPM at 1500FPM solo and cruise at 100 at 5000RPM.

I've used two different wood props, a Warp and Powerfin on other light planes and the Ivo seems to be the smoothest.

I've got the 3 blade 72" Ivo medium on my Avid with 912ULS and it's smooth as glass.

$50

I only have one piece (enough for one wing) originally from Avid. 12"x12' .016 or .018 thick

Travis

I'm not sure which came first, the aluminum or the fiberglass but they served the same purpose which was to make a smooth surface over the false ribs on the top of the wing.

This sold almost immediately via PM.

Travis

These came with the Avid SE kit and add some bling..$30 shipped to the lower US

Travis

This fiberglass sheeting came from the Avid factory in the early 90's

I have 6 pieces 15"x48" about .032 thick

Any interest?

Travis

New, 32" long and includes both end fittings for the engine and pressure sender.

$45 shipped to lower US.

Travis

Nothing to add but I'd sure like to find a set of gear that was affordable and didn't need to fight wrapping with bungees.....

Travis

I moved them out on my extended speedwing. The wing tip is still flying long after the root has stalled if the wing was built to the plans(2" washout if extended) giving roll control at a lower speed.

If the wing was built with little to no washout initially it probably wouldn't make a big difference where there attached.
