Sorry I am in the middle of finishing an airplane and already have another job in line after that. Between those and my regular job a have no time for another job.

Vance,
Would you be willing to part with your Mark IV spare fuselage. Mine got damaged when I was backing up
hit the left wing, pushed it forward and cause the cage members to brake in several places.
Then if you could help me repair it I'd also be grateful.

David, this fuselage was damaged in a trailering accident also. It needs a lot of repair. I do not have the means to repair it at this time. Another year or so and I should have my shop built. I have been thinking about building a Badass Stol plane out of it someday. Not sure what will happen with it.

Not sure what the shipping would be up there. I'd have to take it apart and try to get it in some form of packaging. It might be easier to remove the front fork and wheel from the down tube and ship them separately. Not sure.
As far at the main gear they are no good to me without the nose wheel as the are a set. The Tail-Dragger gear is taller. If you don't want them I can throw them away.
Let me know if your still interested. -

I'm looking for a spare prop for my 912S. What can you tell me about this Powerfin? Could you send pictures?
Thanks
Vance

Hey Guys, I sold my Avid and have not been around the site in a bit. I'm building a Zenith 701 and hope to have it done late Spring.
I have decided to rebuild the Avid Mark IV frame I have once the 701 it done. I would like to lengthen and the fuselage and build a set of cool wings for it.
You guys take care and I'll be checking in from time to time. I hope you know what a great resource this site is for your type of Aircraft. Thanks to the Monitors for keeping this a great site.

Hey Fellas! I have a three blade Cool prop that was on the Avid Mark IV I bought. It was on a Rotax 912 UL. My uncle said it was the best prop he ever ran on the Avid/912. It is white and has P tips. He said it made less noise compared to the other props he had ran. Its a little used looking but it was flying up until I got it. If someone was interested I'd be happy to send some detailed photos and except a reasonable offer.
Thanks
Vance

Sold last week. Sorry I thought I updated this post.

The real problem you are going to run into is finding an engine mount. I just sold my 912 firewall forward and they are just something you don't find anymore. You might email Mark at Avid and see what he is able to help you with. You may be able to modify your cowl. The oil cooler is another thing that will needs made. They really stuff those things in there.

Does it come with a tray, wires and remote?

Joey and I will be camped South of the runway on the south side of the washout. Would love to have you in camp if you get a chance to stop by. Beers on me.

It’s no more work (paperwork) building from a kit versus building from parts. In fact it’s less if the kit has changed hands because you have to prove a paper trail of ownership. When you check the built from parts box all that goes away and you are still building it from parts. The FAA does not care about where all the parts come from nor do you have to prove where they come from. It all get the same inspection in the end.
Would I take a completed flying plane and de-register it to save $200 a year.....no. It’s a lot of extra paperwork and I feel it’s always a good idea to have another set of eyes look over the airplane.
Just me two pennies.

I went through this a year ago. You probably got your answer but here it is in short. If you plan to use the old registration you won’t be issued a repairmans certification. Luckily mine had never been registered so I took pictures and proved 51%.
I’ve know people in your shoes that have de-register the aircraft, rebuild and plane, re-register as it was build from parts (no need for bill of sale from anyone), proved 51% and was able to obtain a Airworthiness Certification and a Repairmans Certification.
