   Post on Stretching the AVID in Technical tasks

   By Larry, posted 19 Nov 2018

   My Model C Kit is unfinished since new, not covered as yet. I am awaiting some mandatory re-engineering to fall into my lap and then make it happen someday, if I'm ever going to be comfortable flying the AVID (I'm 6'2" and yeah, I know: Wrong Airplane Pal, LOL). However I did sell off the 582 in favor of my newly acquired, brilliantly assembled, zero time, factory new Turbo NSI Subaru, 118 hp., W/cockpit adjustable WARP Drive 3-blade up front. Ahhhh, now it is even more mandatory to shift the Bench Seat more AFT, 4-6 inches, AND stretch the Fuselage 18-20 inches, while also enlarging both the elevator & rudder 20% or so. With the wing extension kit done on my Aerobat Wings, I figure this AVID will be a strong, fine cruiser here, leaving 6,500 ft MSL, Colorado Springs. I dig the Harley configuration totally, but I'm still in disparate need of stretching the cockpit or buying some leg room anyway! Maybe I can just knock my footwells forward? That would help! Ain't happening with the Subaru up front though. 
   At this point, I welcome all ideas and especially, photos of those that have already been there, done that. This project may be a dead end for me, but I don't give up any too easily, LOL. 
   And let me say this: I would certainly consider any reasonable offer to buy to anyone that would like to assume completion of this project. I'll make you one heck of a great deal :-)
   Thanks
