    I can see the add when i click on the face book link but I can't see any other aircraft for sale.  Do I need to join the group to see the rest of what's for sale?

    That's great news!  Just to clarify, is that the speed wing extension kit he shows on the website, or a complete wing?

    Magnum weight and balance
    Doing a preliminary weight and balance to determine battery location on my Magnum project. I want to be sure the manual is correct when it says to set wing level at the fourth rib tail.  I was quite surprised to find the door sill out of level by an inch and a half in it's length. Put another way the tail is about 9 inches higher than I expected, and the aircraft appears quite nose low. Nothing wrong with that as long as it's.correct.  . I had always assumed the door sill and the  center fuselage longeron would be close to level but that's not the case at all. Thanks in advance.

    This is the guy that sold out to the new owner of avid. Apparently the new owner did not get it all. Given the number of kits that these two owners have sold. (zero for the new owner, possibly the same for the old (Jim Tomash), i think it would be really tough to start this up and make it work. It would certainly need to be a labor of love consuming your life, not a part time job or hobby.
