Posted 16 May 2021 U sure got that right Jim, and Leni been tellin me im sick like him and the rest of us here for so long now i forgot. Hahahaaa Well was an awesome drive down and back, good weather and the new to me ‘97 2x4 ranger pu with a 3.0 4cly with 76,000 miles did so damm good i was truely impressed with the pu. Been longtime since a car impressed me like that. A few of U guys will recognize the plane from a member here, snowload bentup the tail and end of one wing. But easy fix for a guy like me, course im using it for parts for my SS KF YK2cyl project is the plan. 2 people like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 2 Jun 2021 Hey Bucky, good to see you finally got a project to work on, lol. This one looks like an Avid and in pretty good shape from the pictures. Are you going to part it out or are you using parts off the airframe that was in the back of the Ranger? What plane is 0048?Randy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 2 Jun 2021 (edited) Hahahahahaahaaa yea Randy i finally got something to work on alright, like i need more work right? Gettin pretty close to final install of wings, motor,ect on the pa12. This is Avid number 0022. The fuse in pu bed is an Avid A also that had been cutdown the middle and narrowed, not sure plan with that but mayb a wind sock. 0048 is the other model 1Kitfox (the yellow one) i have in shed to build into a super low weight, yammy big power, lots of prop and gear, my home made belly pod im workin on, big feathers, single seat in middle fishin buggy. Would b like a wide body cub in a way, short cheap trips from home in Ester to Minto Flats and Blair Lake for fishin may even install my EDO 1070 floats on it. But that will b a project a few yrs down the road after soooooo much work on the pa12 since sept 2020. Figure i have around 4200-4500hrs in it now and that dont include the help from guys at Croswinds and they did a whole lot of work to between times i was home waitin for parts.
