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 ExtensionDoes 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 guyHello 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.
