    582 mod 90 rebuild options
    I have a mod 90 582 that was installed in my Avid in '93 and has not been rebuilt since as far as the logs say.  I am at 296.1 hours and was planning a 300 hour overhaul, at least this time especially because of the age.  I would like the ceramic seal upgrade and a complete going through as well.  I have rebuilt a few two stroke dirt bike engines through the years and had no problem using aftermarket parts, in fact I preferred them.  Now with this engine I feel like I should send it to Lockwood for a rebuild with OEM parts and a new crank yada yada yada at the tune of around $3k.  I know Rotax Rick and the like can do the job for around $2200 and most folks have been pleased with the work he has done.  Let me know your stories.

    Great pictures Randy!  Honestly I'm a little bit jealous.  Out here in Georgia we have trees and chicken houses.

    Hands down the most comfortable forum I've ever been in as far as being able to bring up any topic whether discussed previously or not without ridicule.

    I think the pilot stole it and got away with it.

    I seem to remember him posting on the Yahoo group, but I've not seen him on here.  Tragic loss for his folks and the aviation community.  Lets take his accident as a reminder to be as safe as we can while we fly.

    Great pictures Joey!  Growning up in AZ,  I'll always have a soft spot for the wide openness of the West.  We just dont have that here in GA.

    I will be there for sure.  I usually drive but this time I am debating flying in for the real experience.  It will come down to weather.  Where do y'all fly into at OSH, the ultralight area?

    Those of you with dual wing tanks, lets talk plumbing to the header?
    I'm toying with the idea of adding a second fuel tank to give me more range.  I'm curious as to how those of you with dual wing tanks already are plumbing the fuel to the header?  Valves, vents, etc.  I have one wing tank and the round aluminium header behind the seat right now.  I was going to order a second glass tank from Performance Products soon, as one tank just doesnt give me the range I'd like to have. I'd just like to hear what y'all have done.
