   I have an Avid Flyer project for sale in Portland, Oregon for $4,800.
   Everything FWB is included except for covering.
   It includes a VW with PSRU, but no engine mount or propeller.
   The airplane has been flown, has an A/W certificate and had registration numbers.
   The person completing this airplane could use the existing A/W certificate.
   If the DAR will agree, new A/W and repairman certificates could be issued and then the new owner could perform their own annual condition inspections.
   
   I am the third owner of the airplane.
   Airplane includes hydraulic brakes and strobes
   Instrumentation includes:
   Radio, transponder, air speed, altimeter, slip ball, tach, water temperature, EGT, voltmeter, hobbs meter, ELT
   
   To my knowledge this is the situation regarding the airplane:
   The original owner used a Rotax 582
   The second owner did the following:
   Stripped the plane for recovering
   Bought a new wing and landing gear
   Built the replacement wing
   Modified the stabilizer and elevators to be the same as a MK4
   Removed the model B offset from the vertical fin
   Bought a MK4 rudder
   Bought a model C engine cowl
   Built an engine mount for a Jabiru 2200
   
   Serial number 352
   Manual calls it a model B
   The original wing is a model B with a gas tank
   The wing struts are model B
   The fuselage is a model C
   The new wing is a model C with a gas tank
   The tail feathers are MK4
   Model B and model C engine cowls
   
   VW engine
   
   1775 cc (90.5 mm bore x 69 mm stroke)
   Single ignition, distributor
   Electric starter
   Diehl back case and alternator
