My Avid is a B model born in 1990.

Has a 532 Rotax. Stalls at 32 mph cruise at 78mph indicated. 2 seater with a ballistic recovery chute for plane and passenger. Wing folds, store it in my garage, fly it off my property which is a legal runway in the township.

Did a lot of mods:

Installed an oil injector

Made an oil tank

Built a piggyback instrument panel for water and fuel pressure gages.

Installed a vernier throttle.

The plane ran hot since I had it. I installed a belly radiator.

Installed a 2 blade Ivoprop.

FLIES NEAT

Down the road features;

Add a third prop blade, inflight adjustable prop motor, speed wings, big tanks, almunium spring gear, and wheel pants.
