GOT ONE ! 

Unusual paint job - interesting - How about some details - Is that Nevada, or is that the space needle in the background?

Looks good.

 

Be careful.  Take off the unlocking cam from the Maul tailwheel while you are getting used to her.  (1st 100 hours.)

The Maul Tailwheel:  On the tailwheel is a sheet-metal plate with two screws holding it in place.  If you remove this plate, the tailwheel will not go into full swivel mode.

 

This will keep the wheel locked to the steering of the rudder.  This is the most common cause of ground-loops (IMO) with these planes combined with low tailwheel time pilots.  I have also seen a high time tailwheel pilot and CFI repeatedly ground loop an Avid because of a loose tailwheel.  Once you have mastered the plane, replacing the cam plate will allow for easier ground handling.

• Flies GREAT!  as expected....  I don't take off or land yet myself   Had very dirty carbs due to sitting with auto fuel. could only get 5000-5100 rpm before it started sputtering.. but  that was still plenty of power for most flying.. prob only 54 hp @ 5000..lol  I rebuilt carbs and am working on all fuel and coolant lines. radiator is getting cleaned & pressure checked ect..  P.S. I will be a Evans coolant dealer in a week or so.. discounts to fellow rotax flyers. e-mail me at russ@lelandshondasuzuki.com  if interested.
