    I was wondering where the heck you went!  Good to have you back!

    The biggest 'help' for Avids and Kitfoxes will be the maintenance provisions.  With a 2 day (approx) class, you can maintain AND inspect any S-LSA, E-LSA, and Experimental Amateur Built (new!) you own.  With a 3 week (approx) class, you can maintain and inspect ANY S-LSA, E-LSA, and EAB!  No more need for an A&P to do the condition inspection if you get the right certification if you don't have the repairman certificate.

    MOSAIC new rules
    The EAA did a good webinar on MOSAIC last night.  The new rules are going to be a good thing, not as good as perhaps everyone wanted, but a big improvement over the previous Sport Pilot/LSA rules.  The webinar should be posted at eaa.org/MOSAIC in the next day or two.

    That has to be one of the best travelled Avids in the world!   It' been from California, to Illinois, to Florida, then Alabama, and now Minnesota!

  8. marksires added a post in a topic Avid D Model?   

    There was a transition period between C and MKIV that was initially called a 'D'.  I had serial number 941, and it had some, but not all of the MKIV changes, and all the build manuals called it a 'D'.

    Given I haven't had any nibbles on my floats, I'd guess not proceeding was a wise business decision!

    I've changed the pictures from HEIC (iPhone native format - sucks and nobody else uses it) to jpg and here they are.

    Avid Floats
    I've moved my Avid on to another owner, but he wasn't interested in the floats.  Original Avid floats, not amphibs.  I have the floats and the water rudders.
    I'm in Florida.  I'll post pics when I get a chance.

  14. marksires added a post in a topic Avid Flyer Tyre Pressure   

    Those are old tires - Armstrong has been out of business for a long time.  Someone bought them, and I have the exact same tires with the new name, but can't remember it.  Anyway, when I got mine, I foolishly put the max psi - bad idea, it makes an already difficult ground handling airplane really squirrely!  I think I found in the Avid build manual that 8lbs is the desired air pressure.
