I am looking for a set of speed-wing ribs for an Avid Mk IV. Anyone have a set? Or perhaps would lend me one as a pattern?

Does anyone have any 2.5" OD, .083" wall spar tubing that they would be willing to sell? I need enough to do 2 wing extensions. Please PM me if you do.

Post on Wing lift strut fuselage attach point side in Fat Avids, Avid Plus and Airdale
By Airdale RW, postedDoes any one here have a good picture of the wing lift strut end that attaches to the fuselage not painted. Folding wings back and noticed crack in paint. Chipped paint away to look closer and it looks like there are two tabs on the lower and top flange that sandwich the fuselage attach lug. Just want to see if this is normal construction and if these are 2 steel plates together. I wonder why would they not be welded together or do I have more to worry about? First post, little history of the Airdale flyer I have. Built by my father and finished in 2002. He passed away 3 years ago and kept plane in family. Just about 900 hours on the airframe so needing to keep a closer eye on her as she ages. Enjoying all of the 100 hours I have flown in this aircraft.

This is my first post. I am at the beginning of a build and just mounted the wings on the fuse. I've got kitfox wings with the old spar where you don't have to insert the I-Beam. I understand that scuffing the spar with 220 grit is acceptable according to the manual. However, underneath the strut brace, the spar was prepped with something closer to 80 grit. Since the strut brace is riveted and hysoled to the spar, this is like a "doubler" or reinforcement. Of course, I am not sure.
I believe I have to start over which sucks greatly, but was wanting some concurrence.
Pictures show the scratches-(no other parts of the spar are scratched as such).
Thanks and look forward to your responses and expertise-

Post on What model were the speed and aerobat wing introduced in Avidfoxflyers General Hangar
By TSoftware, postedAnyone what model the speedwing and aerobat wing were introduced. The history that I found here doesn't mention them until model C. I have a possible B model that appears to have an aerobat wing, it is 23'8" long and undercambered, but it has 18" ribs on it.
TIA

Post on Wing Fuel Tank Needed in KitFox General Forum
By handles, postedTo all the Kitfox owners out there, wonder if you could help me or do you know?
I have an Avid Speedwing Mk 4, the 13 gallon right wing tank (as from the cockpit) has rotted due to ethanol. I see that Kitfox sell ethanol resistant tanks, will a Kitfox tank fit an Avid and if so which model Kitfox?
