Avid Flyer 13K on barnstormers

Hi Guys,

 

I'm new to this forum.  I'm an engineer and new-to-powered pilot (primarily a glider pilot).  I like the kitfox/avid design.  I'm not opposed to building one, if the price is right, but getting in the air now  appeals to me as well.  I'm in SoCal, and it seems most kitfox drivers and sales are back east.  What do you guys think of this one on barnstormers. ?

 

Thanks,

 

Blake

The MZ202 motor is not a selling point, IMO.  Unless you have a lot of support available for it, I'd be wary of that motor.  Maybe to the point of passing on this one for the next with a Rotax motor...

 

By the look of it, it appears to "B" or "C" model.  Maybe one of the other guys can narrow that down.  These are good solid designed airplanes. Lots of fun, even if the condition is ragged, they can still be good fun economical flying.

 

At face value of the photos, links like a solid little plane.

There has been two on here in the recent weeks in the 10K range. I too would be weary of the MZ202 engine. It might be awesome, but as Larry mentioned support is minimal.

 

Here is one that's been on here. Needs a little bit of work http://www.avidfoxflyers.com/index.php?/topic/2018-1993-avid-c-for-sale/
