Post on Fuel Tank Issue in Technical tasks
By handles, postedHave posted this on the Avid Forum As well
Anyone out there help me out? I have an Avid Speedwing Mk4 UK based. The fuel tank has rotted due to ethanol. I have removed the tank.
Few questions,
Does anyone have a spare tank I could buy for shipment to UK, its 13 gallon right wing (looking out when in cockpit). I could pay by Paypal if needed
Will a Kitfox tank fit an Avid Wing, if so which Kitfox model tank? I see Kitfox have ethanol resistant tanks
Has anyone made an aluminium tank?
Many thanks Simon G-BUIR

Post on Full Lotus type FLOATS - MAKE OFFER in For Sale and wanted, you got it, I want it
By FitchUpNorth, postedMUST SELL!!!! Been trying on and off for a year and a half, crunch time! I am moving, it's summer, my bird is still broken. Someone HAS to want a set of 12'6" Full Lotus type floats for their LSA! Difference between these and true FL are the aluminum skid plates and step stiffener. (step compression was a major complaint of FL and the low psi bladders) Was rigged to be mounted on a KF2. Never mounted on the airframe. Been mounted in my rafters in a heated pole barn for 2 years. Had someone back out on me, crates are already built if you want to ship them.
Brand new FL 12 footers are 14K. These have never been used, but have been rigged for install. Can still read "Alcoa" on the aluminum plates. Uses FL bladders (made FL a little pissy, thus these aren't made anymore. LOL) Plus, besides the addition of the aluminum step stiffener/skid plate, they ARE exact copies of FL.
Asking 3500. I think that's pretty fair, if you don't, MAKE OFFER... Make offer on dog too, can be included. LOL

Hi Everyone,
Well, I just put a down payment on a MK IV, and will be completing my training in it -- at least that is my hope. I got a couple insurance quotes from companies that WILL cover me as 1.5 hr pilot, however there are come caveats: I need 20 hours dual instead of the FAA minumum 15 for the SP ticket (fine, I may need that much anyway), but my instructor needs 250 TT in taildraggers, and 25 hrs TT in exact make and model in order to be covered.
Now I heard this can be negotiated to a degree, but if they won't budge on these times, I can't just find a 3000 hr tailwheel instructor out here and go flying. I'll need to find a CFI with 250 tt in taildraggers and 25 hrs of time logged in an Avid/Kitfox. (I'm sure Kitfox time could be negotiated to count since they're so similar to Avids)
Anyone know of a CFI in Southern California that meets these requirements? Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

Post on Avid Flyer 13K on barnstormers in For Sale and wanted, you got it, I want it
By benglish, postedHi Guys,
I'm new to this forum. I'm an engineer and new-to-powered pilot (primarily a glider pilot). I like the kitfox/avid design. I'm not opposed to building one, if the price is right, but getting in the air now appeals to me as well. I'm in SoCal, and it seems most kitfox drivers and sales are back east. What do you guys think of this one on barnstormers. ?
Thanks,
Blake

I posted this on the Avid Yahoo forum, but wanted to put it out to our Kitfox brethren too since we all basically represent the same family of aircraft.
For anyone near southern California looking for an excuse to fly your Avid or Kitfox,
here's info for the upcoming Flabob Low and Slow Fly In, with food, planes and
fun events. There is a (meager) website for registration and meal signups here:
http://www.lowandslowflyin.com
Let's see how many Avids and Kitfoxes we can get out there on short notice. Maybe we can put
on a good turnout for the type. You can't get much lower or slower than the Avid or Kitfox!
Be sure to go to the link and register so that they know how many meals to plan for.
