Hello all. Just another pilot with a project. This Kitfox 1 came with full lotus floats and retractable gear for the floats. I’m not far from getting it on its floats again and adding the retractable gear, just working through some issues before I get it done. Looking for anyone on here that has one of these on full lotus. 

Hi Randy,

Could you help me identify this fuselage whose owner who put it on sale tells me that it is a Mark IV Airdal / Avid +.

This fuselage has a two-tone similarity to yours

Had a great time at the fly-in/STOL demo in Clarksburg this weekend, thanks for the invite Joey. Here are some pics from the day, hope you enjoy.

New to the page, and excited to be here. Looking for an Avid of my own and any info on them I can. Looking forward to picking all your brains. 

I can use help with Avid technical information and flying advise.

First I would like information an tail structure strengthening and why this was needed in relation to the Avid 4.  Also information on safe estimated x-wind limit which I think is about 13 knots for full stick control to keep the wings level.  I am about to instruct a pre-solo student and another pilot for tail wheel.

Also, what are the qualifications and average experience level of experimental light sport maintenance certficates, and can they sign off required yearly inspections?

I have flown a little in the Avid 4 and an older kitfox and several other experimental airplanes, but the Avid/Kitfox have the lowest wing loading I have experienced.

Thanks.

Getting ready for the first flight!

Ed, will your gear adapt to my mk4. Gross of 1200#. Is it wider and taller. I am trying to address handeling also, having said thatbI was talking to a friend at the air port today and he said it was not bad, just had to be somewhat aware of what was going on.

Thanks - Akflyerbob for showing friendship ! Logtrucker.
