    I would like to stretch an Avid fuselage. I have a spare O-200 and wonder what fuselage I could put it on.


  2. Post on Avid Amphibian available in For Sale and wanted, you got it, I want it

    By AvidJack, posted
    There's an Avid Amphibian (N434YD) that the owner/builder might be willing to sell in Michigan. This is not his first build, or second, or..  Airworthiness issued in 2015, no damage history.  Builder logs are available. Set up with steam gauges and an EIS, 43 hours TTAF, 106 hours on the Rotax 912 (100hp).  Too many builds in the hangars, and all but this one now have Lycomings. (several kitfox, and the current amphibians are on pontoons). 
    IVO (medium) propeller, he has the hardware to convert it to in-flight adjustable, but built it to light sport specs, and registered it as a 2 seater (as I did on mine).  783 empty, Stainless steel header, custom paint, 29 gallons (center tank and 1 wing tank) total fuel capacity. No trailer included, but might be flexible in meeting partway?
    Some pictures attached.
    Any idea what a reasonable value might be?

  4. Post on Amphib project for sale. (Mostly just the AW cert.) in For Sale and wanted, you got it, I want it

    By CADiphile, posted
    Hey Avid flyers,
    A friend and I picked up an Avid amphibian from a lady on the coast in Florida whose uncle had a very, very unfinished project.  He and I don't have time for it at the moment, and we kinda prefer trike planes    (We bought the plane because she wouldn't just sell us the BMW1200R engine that came with it)
    As you can see from the pictures there isn't much there, BUT!  it did come with the airworthiness certificate and old logs.
    The frame appears to be pretty straight, but has been sitting outside in Florida near the coast.  There's rust on the fuselage and corrosion on the wing spar tubes.  My opinion is that the fuselage, struts, and elevator frame are useable, but the wings are trash, or at lease I wouldn't trust them for long, so it's probably not worth it - your call.  I'll provide closeups upon request.  I've taken an icepick to a few of the rust welds and haven't been able to poke it through the welds or surrounding tubing.  I'd fly it.... after a lot of work.
    We're selling this airworthiness certificate and any of the parts of the plane you want.  Under 14 CFR section 21.179 you can transfer this cert to a similar design.  If you want to get into this as a project I downloaded and printed the Amphib build manual, which I'll provide.  It seems detailed enough if you have the skills needed to build from scratch.
     
    Asking $1,700.  Negotiable.
    Now located in Bassville Park, FL.  Will deliver for free if local, and we can work out what delivery is worth if you aren't.

    By marksires, posted
    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.

  9. Post on Avid with a Volkswagen in Avidfoxflyers General Hangar

    By whizzers, posted
    I picked up an AVID last week. The plane appears to be a "C" Model extended speedwing. . .062 spars, 3/4 inch lift struts. HAs  "B" model cowl, radiator on the side.
    The airframe seems to be in good condition, does not seem to have much wear. It has been flown little, if at all. No registration, no logs. It apparently had a Rotax 532 on it at one time.
    At present, there is a HAPI (VW) engine mounted on the airframe. I believe it is a 1600. There is little evidence that it has ever been run on that airframe. For certain it has never flown in that configuration, as the instruments and controls are more appropriate to the Rotax. I'm still evaluating what I have.
    Has anyone actually flown an AVID  with a HAPI on it ?  
    Present plan is to build an engine test stand and see if I can get the HAPI to run mostly out of curiosity. Before that I will do a Weight and Balance. Probably wind up with a ROTAX 582 on it.
    Looking for information. Thanks
