Stumbled on this today, proof there IS at least one VW powered Avid Flyer.

You're about due for a new project, aren't ya, Doug?

You cleaned out the shed to make room, right?

How 'bout that belly tank...

Wow someone worked hard to ruin a perfectly good airplane. I'd of left a cuyuna on before putting that atrocity on the nose. Might make a good project for about $2500 if you removed everything from the sticks forward and started over.

Maybe they'll throw in the motorcycle behind it?  That might make up for some of that abortion…  

Hopefully a typo;  Should be $1000.  ?

Wonder what the empty weight is? With all those switches and breakers I bet the wiring is interesting. Hopefully someone will buy it and breathe some life back into it. Mine wasn't too far off of this one when we rescued it.

I have seen several with VW engines in them.  None performed for shit according to the owners. 

I thought my panel was busy, holy shit he wins the award for most shit stuffed in an avid I think.

I emailed him it is a firm 10K, I didn't have the heart to tell them a perfect avid is hardly getting 10K So I said ok thanks.
