    I have a set of the heavy hauler wings that have never been put together that I was going to build for a project but I will no longer need them, I am up here in BC Canada so I think the shipping would be a killer

    I have the avid plus or fat avid, the fuselage was stretched 18" from factory, I bought the adapter plate that teal made and used the rotax c drive, I could use a quieter muffler but other than that it preforms very well.

    Looks good Randy, my soob mount had the same problem with the downward thrust, never did get it flying straight always had that tail low attitude and always needed back pressure on the stick. It will feel like a different plain for sure now that you corrected the thrust line like Leni says

    The  weight is 755 Lbs, I cant remember what my cg was but you were right about it being forward, I finally added 10 lbs of weight to the tail wheel bolts today and it made a huge difference, pretty much can let go of the stick and it flys pretty well level and the deploying the flaps is quite a but less nose down now as well. Thanks again Chris for the advice

    Chris,It will be interesting to see how you make out on the stiffeners, I can only deploy the flaperons about 1/2 of the full travel ,otherwise I run out of elevator,I haven't notice any binding with that amount. I have the model C elevator so hopefully next project will be enlarging it with trim tab. I had the plane loaded with 26 gal of fuel and 2 people and didn't notice any extra binding so far
