Found, Kitfox/Avid abandoned in a hanger.

Over the past 30 years I have assembled a 582 powered Avid A Model, two Rans S-12’s, and an HKS powered Avid Model IV.   I currently fly an Evektor SportStar and a Rans S-6.  Locally everyone knew of what was suspected to be a disassembled  Kitfox aircraft that had been sitting in a hanger for almost two decades.  It turned out to be an Avid B Model, which I purchased and rebuilt. The only modifications I did was add a baggage compartment, wide body mod, underbelly radiator and  added airfoils to the tailfeathers.  This latest 582 powered Avid has not yet flown.  Hopefully I will get it in the air next week.  I have attached photos of aircraft I have previously assembled.

I put together a PowerPoint presentation of some of the rebuilding then turned it into YouTube Video which can be viewed at  youtu.be/2qsTK7rQRbI  or look under “Building a Kitfox/Avid Flyer in 3 Months
