    Starting your Avid
    Just wondering if it is ok to start up your plane with the wings folded back or is that a bad thing to do ?

    I cant fly it. It needs some repairs to be done with it. I brought it home to Ohio from Florida this summer, but i didnt have time or that green stuff to work on it. I plan on working on it this next year if I can.

    dholly, Sorry but my corvair engine is not for sale. I will be bringing my plane home some time this summer. I will make sure it will be tied down very well before I get it on the road. Thanks for the advise.

    Hi, my name is Bob Buehler and live in Creston,OH. I bought an Avid Flyer model 1. It is in Florida and plane on bringing it home this summer. It has a 532 Rotax electric start.with a trailer. 
     Ive been a big airplane fan and been wanting to learn to fly.This year I was planning on starting to build a plane. I had a Corvair motor for some time to use but my brother in Florida told me about this plane. So I took the plung and bought it. I just need to learn to fly. I plan on getting my licence in a year or two. I guess I am doing it backwards, but when the chance comes along you got to grab it.So I don't know to much about flying and this plane but I'm learning. I'm getting a lot of good info from this website, so thanks to every one.
