Brandon Peterson from Kitfox Aircraft was involved in an accident this past Saturday.
He and a passenger, not his wife Heather, hit a power line going over the Snake river and they went in. N295P was lost but they both got out and were transported to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

Hello. I seem to have misplaced a message from someone that wanted to buy the gear. Please let me know if that was you. Thanks,

I am working on an avid heavy hauler trigear. rebuilding and am ready for the weight and balance . using the numbers and formulas I have a empty cg at 12.inches and a loaded cg at 13. anybody else have a trigear . my next move is to jack the plane at the cg indicated and see how close it is.

I always fill from the bottom. I don't think it matters how you get the old fluid out but your idea sounds great.

They were maybe 1/8" thick. I laid up some fiberglass on an old lexan windshield. I used some of my polyester resin a week ago, and it hardened up just fine. It's a few years old.

Hi Jim,
what thickness did you make the tank doublers that you used to glue the top of the tank back in? Thanks Bryce

Hi,
I need to change the oil in my Matco brakes on my Avid Mk4. I was thinking about doing it the same way I do on my mountain bike brakes, which is to open the vent on the master cylinder and then suck out the fluid with a syringe from the bleed port on the caliper so that the system will be empty. Afterwards, I would the fill them up with new fluid again from the bleed port.
Any reason why that would not work? I got the Matco MC-5 master cylinders.Thanks!

Wish I had one to trade ! I'm running a 3 blade NR with no spinner. I'd love to have a skull cap spinner but no one has them in stock anymore.

I have been under the weather lately, so couldn't measure my MK IV fuselage for you. Maybe this drawing will give you an indication of what you were asking for.

thanks for the reply jim. a previous owner already cut off the motor mount and modified the firewall for a VW. (mistake) so will fix that. i was wondering about fuselage length are the B,C, and mark 4 longer? also i'm missing right lift strut so will have to make one unless i can find one for sale. the one i have is 3/4 inch if i go to 7/8 inch will that increase my g.w.? also i have the 30 foot wingon my model A. my hangar door is 30 foot! would removing the wing tip and drop the span to 27 feet be a bad idea? my ridge runner 3 had a 26 foot span with a rotax 503 and performed great. thanks jim

A model is 36" wide at the top of the seat. Others are 39 1/2" wide. Gross weight is much less as well. Originally had a welded in motor mount, not bolted on like later models.

Hi, all just picked up an avid model A! year unknown! i am a long time aircraft builder but have no experience with avid''s. did build a ridge runner 3 so very similar. can anyone tell me the difference between an A,B,C, mark 4 ? this airplane is going to need a total restore,just wonder if is worth upgrading to one of the newer models if possible? thank's.
