Mark,
Maybe someone can get it and post it for you on Files and Forms?

Thanks for the tip on the manuals. Unfortunately, they won't open after I download them. Adobe complains the document root is missing or invalid. Sigh, it has been that kind of day.

My condolences (if that's appropriate) for the loss of the plane. You had put so much work into it. It must be absolutely heartbreaking.
Yet, I am so happy for you and your wife that you are both alive and well to be heartbroken about the plane.

Thanks everyone for understand why I haven't commented up on this yet. I have more information that was given me to today by the FAA and NTSB but don't want to say much about it other than it was a $3 part that broke causing the entire problem. I feel I handled the situation as well as I could have but am sickened over the loss.

I should mention that my nose-gear is not sprung, but is steerable by a bell-crank attached to the rudder peddles.
-
The "Builders Manual Part 3" online in the forum has a drawing for the front fork and mains on page 5.
-
Since I'd like to make a nose gear for mine (and also new main gear, since they are different for a nose gear configuration), depending on where you are at I'd be happy to help get the measurements and maybe make some drawings.
I'm in central illinois, but travel for business a lot, so wherever you are may work at some point.

Only advice I can give is to remove yours and fix or make a duplicate, unless someone has one for sale.
ChrisB bought a RANS Tundra fork and made his.
I've got a fork and pivot shaft for a Cessna 172, and a complete Piper TriPacer setup, and no idea of how close it would be to yours.
Thanks for the info on the cover.

The cover is a "stock" "lightweight" (5 lbs) cover from Bruce's Covers for the Avid.
I need the nose gear because the one on the Avid was bent while towing it through some grass that had a deep rut from a mower.

It looks just like my Bruce's Custom Cover I have for my Kitfox.

They have them listed under Avid and SkyStar (for Kitfox).

Guess I should have asked the owner about the cover on the yellow Avid - wanted to know if it was commercial or homemade.

I didn't realize you were showing a picture of your plane. Thought it was just a picture of an Avid to illustrate what you were talking about. Jim Chuk
