Good idea with the gearbox. In my experience with rotax, they tend to under build things to save weight. Their power to weight ratio is what sells them. Just curious is the gear box the same as the lower hp models?
Hi, I am new to your channel. I think that what you are doing is awesome and inspiring. I was wondering how the bush wheels worked on the avid with the stock engine. And also I was wondering what wings you have, and if you intend on upgrading them.
Lookin' good! 👍
wish some day could be fliying in that plane !!
Nice work brother, planes coming along nicely 👌
I thought those holes were just for cooling
I honestly dont know but it looks like a p.t.o. window . Anyway i drilled those holes in the bracket so if it is for cooling they are still there
What engine is that??
Rotax 800 etec
Great job like really great work but why a handheld radio and not a real dash mount like a Xcom, micro air or an Icom.
2 reasons , 1 if i go down in the backcountry i think the handheld would be a good survival tool that can stay on my person and join me on the hike out. 2 because the fuel tank is in the way lol , when i put new wings on it with wing tanks i may upgrade the radio but the handheld will always stay in the plane. Thanks for watching
Strong work Dave! Thanks for paving the way!
Thank you and for following along.
I think you are going to be stressing a type c gearbox with the power you are going for. I'd consult with Airtrikes or Mohawk Aero for which gearbox to use. Something like an SPG3 or 4. They are mostly used on 4- stroke automotive engine conversions, but they might be able to make an adapter for your engine.
I was thinking the same thing however after speaking to some people much smarter than me who think it should be ok and after discovering this gearbox has been on many 130hp applications and i could find only 1 instance of it failing via a spun bearing. Yes this is 165 hp but thats max output at 8200 rpm so it will rarely actually see all 165hp. That being said the gearbox is one of the things that ive been working on some new designs because i would like to have a gearbox rated for higher hp than it will ever see so there is a safety margin. Thanks for tunning in and giving feedback i appreciate it very much . I will look into the spg3 and 4 as well so thank you .
I have so many questions. My dad has an avid mkiv and we’ve been talking about doing a Yamaha apex motor. What motor did you go with?
Apex is a good engine however on these avids i decided it was a bit to big and heavy so after much consideration i went with a rotax 800etec. 165hp for under 100lbs . As far as i know this is a worlds first so cant yet say if this was the better option or not yet.
@ I’m definitely going to follow this and see how it all turns out!
Leading edge slats.. you will go REAL slow.
Yes slats are on the list of things to do but i think the profile of this wing is a major problem . Id love to slow this wing as much as i can because i like how short they are but i wonder if id be better off just starting with whole new wings . We shall see what the numbers are soon and go from there. Thanks for tuning in.
2 stroke rotax?
Yes 800 etec
Sweet job Dave!! Good to see you getting after it. Can't wait to see you fire that bad boy up!
How big are those tires?
Haha thats what she said ...30"
Great to see you in your shop and Avid upgrades. Hey Dave! Good luck with that shoulder! Hope this does it for you! Merry Christmas!
Thank you hopfully the new hip-shoulder works better. Merry Christmas
Good to see you back at it! Keep up the good work.
I just noticed, that's going to be some ultralight on Steroids 😉🇨🇦
What engine are you running??
Rotax 800 etec
It's hard to beat a man who never gives up.

Hey Dave, great work here! I'm also building an Avid and My name is David. I've been researching engines for several years and recently came across the Rotax 800/850 ETEC, and realized this is a modernized version of the older engines in most Avids. Anyway, I decided that's where I'd go with my Avid (still a ways out on it), so finding your video already doing it makes me even more confident in the idea, I guess great minds think alike, lol! Excited to see how it goes. I've started working though some of the initial designs to adapt the gearbox, engine mount, etc. You're well on your way with yours, but if you need any CAD work or any other help, please let me know!
Hey David shoot me an email
PS Adjusted for inflation ! : ) The Six Million Dollar Man was $6 million, which is roughly $28 billion in today's dollars.
Dave! Put some wings on er! My eldest grandson loves Flex Seal! Flax tape what ever they make!
Jetboat!!!
Buddy, Title is "most power avid in the world?" You don't say a word about the motor, size, power, prior application, just totally missed the whole premis of your video.
Your right i guess i forget that most people that watch are new to the channel and are not in the loop so to speak. Its a 2014 rotax 800 etec . It makes 165 hp outta the box

Very nice! Thanks for posting this video.
Gonna be bad a$$!!!
Back to work Boss!
Yes I am!
Keep swinging my friend! Dave, I know in my gut, you are made of the right stuff! Your going to be ok, fight, fight, fight! I have been there my man! Never, never, never ever give up! Long ago, I was driving my motorcycle on my way to school. A implement truck cut a corner into my traffic lane hitting me head on. I few 100 feet over the truck and landed sliding on the shoulder of the road. My helmet had a large hole punched in it, but it still had protected my head. The driver of the truck thought I was dead, and in the hospital several others also seem to have wrote me off. I wanted to slap the driver and tell him I am not dead! I was in shock lying on the road shoulder, but I could see the truck drivers form looking down over me. In the ambulance one of the members was our undertaker in our little town of Jasper. Mn. I thought to myself, your not going to get me yet you *** ** * *****! He was a good man, but knowing he as an undertaker caught me off guard and that did go through my thoughts. At he hospital several emergency staff didn't think I would make it and talking to each other said he'll never make it. They didn't think I heard them, but I did. I lifted myself up and looked towards them not saying a word. Let me tell you man were they ever surprised, faces turning white as their uniforms, 'he'll make it, he'll make it', they both said. Well I was in shock, couldn't seem to talk, broken right arm in three places, broken right leg, punctured intestines and etc. Many doctors also believed I would have a sort life. I'm here to tell everyone I new it was up to God and myself how long I would likely be on this earth. Thirteen surgeries and nearly 54 years later, I'm still standing. Thank you Lord! I still plan on living my life to the fullest for the rest of my life. Only God knows every one last day on this earth. I am praying for you my friend, and all others who are being forged by the fire of life on this earth. God give Dave Palmer all that he needs! Amen
Thank you for sharing your story . Im personally in a great place in life so greatfull for the blessed life i have but it wasnt always this way. Ive had lots and ive had nothing and thought it would never get better but if you decide to make it better you can make it better. C=hf Our minds create our reality go make the life you desire. Just thought this post might find the person that needs to hear it
C=hf
Damb right brother
