    Speed wings and bush tires....
     
    I just bought a MkIV with Speed wing and intended to look for HH wings. I want a bush plane, but it looks like your doing all right at 1000FPM?  Would you suggest I just run it as is and not hassle with finding a new set of STOL wings?

    Avid MkIV HH wings or extensions for my SpeedWing wanted
    I'm thinking a spare set of  HH would would be the easiest route, but I'm open to extensions for my SpeedWings. 
     
    Any body have wings laying around on the west coast that they'd like to off?  What do you guys suppose the value of a spare set of wings or wing extensions are?

    What the going labor rate per hour these days?
     
     Im in SoCal and I'm considering taking the 16 hour Rotax rebuild class at California Power Sytems. I'm wondering how much, if any in the hole I'd be, by dropping my Avid off, and having a shop do the work like you chose to do.  Part of me want to learn, but the other part of me wants to ditch the 2 stroke in the future. I dont know how prudent it wiuld be to have the rebuild know how under my belt if I mive away from Rotax 2 strokes.

    Sorry, you mentioned in your blog or on here that the owner of Semonini returned your email or call. Thats the contact Info I was  looking for. I Used thier website to find the US distributors contact info and wasnt so impressed with thier responces to simple questions. The owner of Simonini is who Im looking to talk to next.

    Would you mind passing the owners email or contact info to me. I've talked with the US rep and wasn't so impressed.

    1) It the STOL performance better than the Rotax 912?
    2) How much lighter is this combo than the 912?
    3) Im guessing the torq isnt there but the HP is in par.

    A blown head gasket can inject air into the cooling system.

    We need to start copy and pasting the details from CL and Ebay ads. I would love to call the guy (2 years later) and inquire about it. The ad is expired and his contact info is gone as well.

    Did you get it resolved?

    That thread fell flat.


    1) Inquiring minds want to know if the carb cleaning did the trick. Did you get the rough idle worked out?

    2). Is the 582 enough power for you? I'm in the same boat, and the price point of a 2 stoke Avid is very appealing. I'm digging deep to find a clean Mark IV.
