I used a raspberry pi board and found the ADSB program, here is a link to someone who did it, github.com/openskynetwork/raspberry-pi-adsb. Here is another link, www.adsbexchange.com/ways-to-join-the-exchange/build-your-own/. You use to get the parts on amazon, but I do not see them all there. I was able to build it for a quarter of a Stratus. I use my foreflight to view the data that came in.

Yes the 670 and 582 are same lower case so it was direct built up to my existing mount. Yes the head comes with dual ignition system.

From Rotax Rick out of Florida. rotaxrick.wordpress.com/

Congratz, I was looking at it as well. Looks like an amazing plane.

Did you end up getting it? Ads still up on Barnstormers.

You may want to check the alinement of the gear. A darting to the left might be due to that or even a sticking brake pad. If I recall the rotax blade spins in the opposite direction from a Lycoming or continental. These engines will cause the plane to pull left due to the torque, also coming up on the mains will make you go left due to gyro effect. I do not think this applies to the Rotax. If its just engine force pulling you left and not misaligned gear or sticking brake. Try applying right rudder and pushing power in slow. Also recommend getting a CFI who know tailwheel and Rotax to fly it.

It is a Winkler System. Thanks

I am happy to hear this brought back some good memories. Where is this Guinda Canyon located?

The kitfox came after the Avid Flyer, built before the company split. They wanted the avid to look more like a Cessna, so in order to do that they mount the engine upside down to fit in the cowling. Unlike Kitfox, later on, who kept it upright which they used the radial looking cowling.

They are a blast man. Stall speed is around 35-42mph. Plans might be hard to come by you can look on Barnstormers for kits not finished, avidfoxflyers.com/. These would be your best bets. good luck.

@dcavidflyer3073 thanks I'm going to look there to. I looked at the files on the world wide avid flyers on Facebook. And they had some plans for Avids and the knock off the Raven. Buying one would be probably be my best bet but building one would be fun.

The hangar is a Winkler system out of Canada. I bought it. They have many different designs to fit your needs.

Hey, the 670 was a big hop up in power. You will need a new exhaust for it. I had it made, here is the email, cpiracing1@gmail.com. He will need pics of your set up for proper placement of the pipe. The head came with my 670. I traded in my 582 to Rotax Rick out of Florida who build mine. You should reach out to him to see if you can get one from him. I hope this helps. thanks.

Yes you can, just need to add weight to the back to keep the CG in place. Also limits useful load.

Why install a 912? The 670 has 92 HP and very small weight increase. The 670 from Rick is 1/3 the cost of a 912, also.

this is the heavy hauler wing.

haha yes that is the one. Thanks, its a real nice plane. You still in the area?

David, @@dcavidflyer3073 what motor in your 170? And congrats ! I see your old Avid is on Barnstormers

Our 170 has the O-300 in it. Nothing special but does the job. Also thank you. @@johnstevens1680

Luckily a good buddy of mine is one. Owner assisted here I come haha.

To my knowledge yes, the EIS 2002 and 2004 are the same but the extra port. I think the EIS 4000 has 4 cylinder over the 2 the 2004 has.

@@dcavidflyer3073 my cheap swift egt is off by 100 degrees on one side, took a while to figure out, maybe I shoulda got one of these GRT things.

Haha I love that analogy, I agree with you on that. The Hangar is a Winkler System. They are based out of Canada. I really like the system. Only thing I am not a fan of is the door. It works but not the best of seal. Also I use a harbor fright cheap truck winch to open and close the door, ran off a deep cycle battery, over the hand crank it comes with. winklerstructures.com/news/structures/fabric-hangars-winkler-structures/

hey I built the plane up flew it and sold it. I really did like the 670 performance. You will see a big jump in STOL activities. I did not set my prop up for cruse but to get off the ground quick, so I can not contest to the cruse. From what I know you would see some gain in cruse speed, but this plane and wing/gear/tires had so much drag. I sold it because I wanted a plane with more room, so I purchased a 170B. I really do love the plane and 670 for fun get out and spend a few hours flying.

@@dcavidflyer3073 Damn! I’d love to have a 170B that’s a nice 4 place tail dragger! My buddy’s dad has one sitting in an old broken down hangar and it hadn’t been flown in probably 40 years. It’s a shame! Enjoy that 170. Hopefully you do some videos with it

Tony, I did not actually take it up and fly without the cowling. With cowling I was seeing about 85mph. This is with climb pitch, stol wing and draggy tires.

@@dcavidflyer3073 right on, thanks. Stoked to see that bad boy running good!

Paul you are to kind. I am well and hope you are too. I sold off the Avid and now flying a 170B. Maybe I should start posting about flying that?

Thank you. I liked the GRT system. I was having the info being displayed on the Sport EFIS from GRT. The only issue I had was my sending units were jumpy, like the readings bounced around. Talked with another builder, and he told me to ground all the senders direct to the display with a ground lead from there to the main bus. Worked perfect. I have some other videos showing the system.

I don't remember the guys names but if you search Avid on barnstormers you should see an add pop up for them. If you watch my gear video I think I posted the Link.

I love it but I feel like I need a bigger plane now.

Thanks Tony, yes these small light planes are really affected by wind.

I have electric, 2 dual Ducati ignition coils.

Me too lol. Took a little longer then I thought it would. Thank you tons Doug.

Thanks Ron, it was a challenging day to fly in, But it was awesome having the old man with me this time.

Randy I am out in the Sacramento CA Area. So lots of farm land, rivers and rolling hills to the west and the Sierras to the east. I don't have much drive to take the Avid to Tahoe yet, haha.

It was a blast

Thanks man!

I think the order goes. Dad. Mom. Wife. Child. Not sure where the dog fits in. So far I’ve got uncle in the logbook. My apologies to my uncle Dave. Looking forward to your landmark flight myself. More videos when you can please. Thanks David.

@@sethlucas8362 The order of life you are willing to sacrifice? Haha Jk man. I was told by a wise pilot, the goal is not to get your wife to fly with you, it is to get her to fly with you again.

Yes editing it now. will upload soon with finding.
