Sorry for any confusion, I made a mistake in the topic title for the previous listing for this airplane & couldn't seem to edit it. So I'd like to try this again.......

 

For your consideration,

 

 

This was a flying aircraft in 2006. It has been stored indoors since then. It is complete and is considered a running project. The Left wing tank leaks. 190.7 hours on airframe & engine. The engine is a Blue Head 582 DCDI. Dual 13 gallon tanks, Cheek radiators, Heavy Hauler wing with heavy lift struts & heavy spars .083", 8.00 X 6 tires and brakes, Dual stick controls, basic panel with compass, airspeed, altimeter, slip, dual EGT, water temp, Tach, hourmeter, & ELT. Empty Weight = 470lbs. Build manual & tow bar are included. This is an excellent project plane that will produce a very nice flying Avid in a short time with little work. Please call or email with any questions. 912-508-4713 flyhigh_gv@yahoo.com.

there is a T bird sitting in a barn about 10 miles from nere,..has grey head 582 or 532 on it,,thinking it has 10 hrs,..but sails are shot,..complete go thru would be required..but he wants what a new one costs going on flight time appraisal..new skins not considered..

It stinks when people let something sit for 10 years and then put a way too of high of price on it based on what they have into it or what they think it's worth and won't budge regardless of what the market is really doing.

Yikes! Sad deal....hate to say it but some day his kids will be stuck with it and chances are it'll go in the scrap pile for nothing.

 

To get back on track can someone call this guy and see if this plane is still available so I can update this thread? 12K is a great price for this plane with a blue head, MKIV, mods, heavy hauler wing etc.

Black Friday Sale!!!

 

I am being sent on a long term assignment with my curent employer. I was told we could be a while in the field and won't have time to get to the avid for possibly 3 years. I would be willing to entertain offers around $10,000 at this point.  

 

Respectfully,

Good luck w/getting someone to take your Avid of your hands Cory. I have a very similar one. I can't get anyone to take it off my hands even for $10500 I hate to admit.  I don't expect the market to get much better on these toys especially w/talk of a looming stock market bubble.
