snaprollinfool

for sale; hirth fuel injection system less fuel pump. appears to be new never used. came off a 2706 65hp. date on ecm is 12/04 asking $500.00

hey thanks for the reply looks good! i'll get some photos of mine up soon.

would love to have a jabiru, just a tad out of my retirement budget! guy has a gen 3 for sale on barnstormers for $12,000. zero hours. i'm going with a predador 670 v-twin which is a honda clone. have one in my ultralite which is putting out about 36 hp @3800 rpm.  an after market cam will bump it up to 44 hp @ 4600 rpm which should be enough for avid  with an 425 pound ew and 850 gw although performace won't be great.

hey Jim, what motor are you running in your bird? by the way it looks great.

thanks jim, i started working on it this week. have some cutting and welding to do.  1,make new lift struts  2 take left turn out of vert stab. ( right hand prop) 3.modify doors. sometime in it's life a former owner decided to beef up up the firewall for a VW and went crazy with 2 inch by .125 steel strap so will be removing some of that. should have it flying by july. thanks for all your help.  Bill

hi all, has anynoe modified the avid model A door and fuselage to be like the later models? getting older and it would  make it much easier to get in and out. thanks.  bill

hi all, anyone have a 6 inch matco tail wheel  and spring for an avid a model for sale?  also td main gear.  thanks.  Bill

thanks so much jim i really appreicate it. hope you feel better soon. there's no rush just looking at options now.  won't start work on it until may. am just finnishing up my ultralight and then begin test flights. the diagrams help. thanks

thanks for the reply jim. a previous owner  already cut off the motor mount and modified the firewall for a VW. (mistake) so will fix that. i was wondering about fuselage length are the B,C, and mark 4 longer? also i'm missing right lift strut so will have to make one unless i can find one for sale. the one i have is 3/4 inch if i go to 7/8 inch will that increase my g.w.? also i have the 30 foot wingon my model A. my hangar door is 30 foot! would removing the wing tip and drop the span to 27 feet be a bad idea? my ridge runner  3 had a 26 foot span with a rotax 503 and performed great. thanks jim

Hi, all just picked up an avid model A! year unknown! i am a long time aircraft builder but have no experience with avid''s. did build a ridge runner 3 so very similar. can anyone tell me the difference between an A,B,C, mark 4 ? this airplane is going to need a total restore,just wonder if is worth upgrading to one of the newer models if possible? thank's.  Billl

thanks tjay
