    May I ask, what is the exact color of this plane. Mine looks the same, and I am trying to find the right product to touch up.

    Aluminum Tubing for Wing Extension
    Does anyone have any 2.5" OD, .083" wall spar tubing that they would be willing to sell? I need enough to do 2 wing extensions. Please PM me if you do.

    While you may not need anything, I would consider Alodine. A lot of the Vans RV guys treat their aluminum with it.

    Demo Flight for a new Avid Flyer guy
    Hello all. I am in the Charlotte NC area, and I am looking to learn more about the Avid Flyers and Kitfox models 1,2, or 3 generation. Is there anyone in the area that I could meet up with, learn about your experiences with your plane, and go for a demo flight? Personally, I have an Avid MKIV Aerobatic Speedwing, and I would like to experience some of the flight characteristics of these planes before modding men too much. Thanks in advance.

    I think at 2400 pounds of force, I would be deflecting the Poly 2.29". I need to verify my math though.
    2400 pounds/2.355 square inches = deflection per inch of thickness *Young's modulus of 4000*(1 + 2*(2.355 square inches receiving the force/(9 inches of length* diameter of 2 inches*3.14)^2)) 
    Solving for X, you get X = .254402 inches of deflection per inch of thickness. 
    With a thickness (height in this case) of 9 inches, this gives a total deflection of 2.29 inches, and a wheel travel of about 3.34"
     I need to test this in my shop.
     
    Update: I think my math could be missing something. I need to recheck it tomorrow. I think I would have a little more deflection; leading to about 4.5 inches of wheel travel.
