My buddy with the ground-looped Avid may want some of this stuff. Send me your list when you are able.

And now for the rest of the story?

Larry - it's all there just have him pm me. Who knows when (if?) I will ever get around to a complete part by part inventory. Might just as well post up the original factory inventory pull sheets. Not much story to tell, went off strip hit a ditch and the fuse folded like a cheap suit at the left gear attach brackets. The Grove gear is a hell of alot tougher than the longerons that's for sure. A&P originally thought we might get away with some tubing repair --which wouldn't have been that big of a deal because I was going to recover it this winter anyway-- but then we found the fuse was actually tweaked 3-ways so the Ins co. just chose to total. Not good, but what you gonna do? Either I'm crazy stupid or a glutton for punishment but I agreed to buy the salvage. I have better things to do than part this out, just hope to come off a bit better financially because alot was not damaged. Sucks balls, but Life (very graciously!) goes on.

Man Doug, I am sorry to hear about this too; I didn't realize what had happened when I read your first post. I hope you are OK as well.

Time to put full concentration into getting the Avid+ done!

Doug, Mine was bent, twisted and tweeked pretty good. The gear box was bent up pretty bad, but the tubes were not kinked. I made up a couple tools to straighten the tubes, but most of the work was done with a block of wood and a hammer, or a rubber mallet. They are small tubes and straighten easy, just dont beat the shit out of them :lol: The good thing about tube and rag planes is that they are easy to fix! I had to replace a couple upper longerons that were kinked, and the rudder post n top of the fin. Spend a day hammering tubes that could be straightened, a day cutting new tubes and fitting them, and a few hours with a tig torch in hand welding in the new tubes. The tubes that were knked were holding the fuse all twisted up, but as soon as I cut them loose the rest of the fuse sprang back to normal shape. Pulled a few measurements to make sure everything was square, blocked it up n clamped it down on the saw horses and went to welding. I think I have about 250 bucks into the new tubes, including upgrading to 1" tubes for the lift struts.

Post up some pics and show us your ditch banging handy work :lol: I would do it for you buttrock.gif
