  1. Post on Avid Flyer MKIV STOL Build in Introduce yourself

    By dtan19, posted
    Hi Friends,

    My name is David. I live in Utah. I posted this on the FB page, but thought I should cross post this here too for those not on FB. I just bought an Avid Flyer MKIV that I'm building. Thanks to all those that have built out before and created posts. It really helped me do the research and decide to buy an Avid. I'm super excited to build it out and innovate/improve where I can. 

    Also I have more parts than I need, so please let me know if you're interested in anything. 

    Parts available (might let others go, just ask):
    Model A-C speed wings with extensions
    1 - STOL Tank
    Speed wing tanks (1 good, 1 damaged but could be repaired if interested)
    Jury Struts
    Extra set of controls and some mixer parts

  7. Post on gear ratio and prop sizes? in Rotax and other engines

    By klares, posted
    Looking for a better understanding of gearing and prop size... If a guy wanted maximum stol performance would he choose the biggest prop he could clear, run the lowest gear ratio ie- 4:1 and pitch it accordingly? I'v read in several places that larger dia props turned slower provide better takeoff and climb performance. So where are avids/kitfox's limited, is it ground clearance for the prop? I think 3:1 is the lowest gearset i'v read of people using on these planes, does anyone have experience with the lower gear ratios?
