   Post on Avid Flyer Mk IV Major Change and Upgrade in Avidfoxflyers General Hangar

   By nlappos, posted 7 Jan 2018

   Well after my illustrious gear fail landing last October, I have gathered the parts and will be getting her ready for flight in mid to late Feb.  I pulled my 582 (using a Harbor Freight hydraulic table, which was surprisingly easy.) I packed it up in a big plastic tub sold at Walmart, using about 5 pillows as recommended by 'Rick".
   I shipped it to "Rotax Rick" Ron Davis, and he swapped parts and is sending back (4 weeks later) a zero time 91 HP 670 engine with my C box. I will also install a Warp Drive 3-blade 72" Prop with Standard blades, nickel leading edges and HPL hub, ground adjustable, and a new set of wide Lowell Fitt gear with my old 8.00 x 6 wheels and brakes to round out the major items.
   I will keep you all informed of how it goes, I will drop back to Phase 1 for 5 hours, and take careful notes.
   I am now based at Parowan, UT, so that 6000 feet will make the 91 HP mighty welcome.
