Hi all,
my name is Frank Becker, i live in Germany and fly together with my wife Marina since 2009 a C-Avid build 1989-1992 with a Rotax 582 Blue-Head. This D-MELY is one of the first Avids who built in Germany.

Many greetings from Germany wishes Frank

Welcome Steven.  I don't believe I have ever seen that kind of nose gear - I thought I knew about all of the different kinds for Avid and Kitfoxes.  Did you make the gear, or was that with the kit?

Hello friends.

I need for our Avid two Goodyear Caddymaster RIB 8.00 X 6 tires, or similar tires with a longitudinal profile, the same tires as you can see on the photos. Unfortunately, the tires in Germany are no longer available. We bought two Carlisle Turf Glide 8.00 X 6s. Unfortunately, the Turf Glide does not roll well on asphalt, they literally stick to the ground and that is very unpleasant in crosswinds conditions!

We are urgently looking for tires with a longitudinal profile, like the Goodyear Caddymaster, and not a cros-profile like the turf glide tires.

Do you have an idea?
 

Best regards from Germany,
Frank
