    Been along time with this install.
    This is what we did to the lower cowl.
    As you can tell we have not painted it yet.

    Width of landing gear
    I would like a quick answer concerning the width of my Avid mk 4.
    I'm building a trailer and need to know the width of both standard and wide gear.
    My plane is not in front of me to get the measurements.

  9. 959 added a post in a topic NEXT QUESTION - WHAT'S A 670?   

    I remember when I first put the 604 ci engine into my Duster I ran into one problem after another.

    It is just solving problems that are there because of going a different route than is the easy one and not giving up.

    It's just about not giving up.

  12. 959 added a post in a topic Will a avid a model firewall forward fit on a mark-4   

    It is but the fuselage has rust issues,
    No windshield.
    Engine has not been started in 3 years.
    I would be buying it for a core engine and probably selling the rest as parts. 
    Seller doesn't have current N number.
    He will sell the plane at that price,just not sure I'm ready to let go of the money.

    Will a avid a model firewall forward fit on a mark-4
    I'm thinking about buying a A model Avid.
    It supposed to have a Mark-4 upgrade firewall forward 582 engine kit.
    Engine will have to be rebuilt.
    Just want to know if it will bolt onto a Mark-4 with out any modifications.
     
    Also what is a set of full Lotus floats for an Avid worth.

  15. 959 added a post in a topic Over heating on Rotax 670   

    If I was to sell the tuned pipe I would want $2000 for it.
    I know this is not what you asked but that was one of the most challenging part of the project.
    This is from me who build my chassis car that runs in the 8's.
     
    I would do it again.
    The plane is very lively.
     
    Next I'm going t o put the  clutch in.
    But I will buy a couple of extra clutch lining because of the extra hp.
