I think that is the wide bungee gear ,mine has the narrow gear and is simple to land as is .nice looking plane ,I vote buy it ,but I always vote that way

its flown before ,it had 240  hrs on it when I got it ,it just sat since 96.the guy I bought it from redid the wings then I rejuvenated the fuse fabric and had him paint it .it used to look like this

its running great ,about 40 hrs on it now .

that's some some big beautiful stuff you get to fly around up there randy,looks great on skis bandit!

allonsye, are they wheel penetration skis.  looks good on skis randy!

thanx randy ,wolverine, I soloed it last night ,after 10 dual for a taildragger ,87+ knot and d airspace endorsments. I  just went out and had fun with it for a couple hours today ,what a plane . i love the engine .

welcome john ,I read your testimonial on the vg site then tried the same on my plane ,the result :almost straight trim tab,thanx

good looking plane .I like the  paint ,that weight isn't bad either ,performance should be great with that horsepower .I have no cg info for you but mine is at the forward limit  and flies beautifully.

as much as I enjoy my avid I also love this little plane ,so I put it on amphibs .its not so little anymore

I thought I got my batt back far enough maybe a couple of feet behind mixer but might try to get it back even further.a four inch longer wing chord has gotta help in the w@b area I would think Ed

thanks ,its an ea81 ,rfi reduction. bing 94 carbs .downside ,shes heavy.740.but powerfull.alot of wrong info when I bought it and I was too trusting,lesson learned.so my floats are gonna have to go on my other plane .no weight in the tail but solo with 3 reserve its at the forward limit.stalled at 30-32 cracked 100 at 4700 rpm.after two hours pulled the plugs and they were that perfect shade of brown.its a plane now ,not just a bunch of parts in the garage

a few bumps in the road but  It flies. now I get to learn how to fly it .I had a high time tailwheel pilot fly it first . couldnt have got it back in the air without all the help from the site.thanx again

good bump ,first time ive read it

beautiful plane,something about a white plane just looks clean.

thanx for the welcome ,im in Kalispell so not to far from you c5.im waiting for the rudder(my painter is very slow and irritating)to do the w/b .ill check on the toe in.

hello everyone,my name is mike and I thought I would introduce myself.i purchased an avid model c back in march and it is finally ready to return to the air.The wings have been recovered and painted so I then had to rejuvenate the fuse and repaint to match. Then there was the engine ,it ran but ran rough and wouldn't sync ,turned out low comp on two cyl,so I replaced it with a new rebuilt long block.oh yeah its an ea81,was unsure about the Subaru until I got the new one ,it is one smooth little engine.yada yada yada I shouldn't have bought a project, for flying price. but  ill say this ,I love my avid and I know exactly what I have. The rudder should be done this weekend and then the annual ,should be flying after that.it hasnt flown since 1997.thanx for an awesome site ,I learn some thing new every time I log on.     a few pictures of the avid and my other plane a tbird

good lookin little plane .im just glad were trying things like that!

very nice ,I also own an avid and a t bird .t bird is one tough little plane .id post a picture but I don't know how

is that a tbird in the picture?

is this coolant derived heat or an element of some sort?

alright thanks jim

Jim, I would be interested in the grove gear.do you have any specs on it (height, width) thanks

I have a set of 1260 fl amphibs ill be rigging this summer and would like to see pitcures and maybe some measurments of your rigging

I plan on using the same gear ,please let us know how it works for you.
