Avid Flyer MK IV trailer load and unload demonstration

- Here I am loading the Avid Flyer on the trailer, and unloading it as well. Trying to demonstrate how easy it is to be able to bring your airplane to the airport, and bring it back home again and store it in the garage till your next flight. No more high hangar rent that way. Anyway, this plane is for sale for $27,500 including the trailer. I should be fairly easy to contact. Enjoy, Jim Chuk
I will be saving this video. Thank you sir
Merci pour la video, très instructif 👌
The Avid Flyer MK.IV is a beautiful aircraft. I am convinced of suitable home construction. Is it possible to buy plans for this plane?
Avid was only sold as a kit. You can find them occasionally on barnstormers and other aircraft sites. AvidFoxFlyer forum is a good place to search as well.
Jim what was your useable load with the Jabiru 2200 on Avid MK 4?
Nice I want one
it's for sale....😁
I didn't see any configuration or mechanics for securing the horizontal stab or rudder from wind forces and deflection......maybe some pool noodles encasing PVC tubing would work just fine to trap both in a pincer type clamping action. Plus the noodles make great trailing edge protectors anywhere needed: flaperons, ailerons, or even wing edges, especially when folded for transport. Just saying.....
I discuss the gust locks starting at the 3.59 minute mark. You are right that I don't demonstrate them, but explain what they are and why they are needed.
Great trailer well thought out! So you can pull this at highway speeds? Thx for sharing this video, R
Yes, it pulled real nice. It went to Iowa a month ago, and the new owner is loving it.
Why not tow it on its own wheels?
Avid and Kitfox made hitches that allowed you to tow the plane on it's own wheels. However it was meant for short distances. My Avid went on a 600 mile trip the day I sold it. No way you would want to pull it on the hitch that far. Not to mention, the cops say where are the tail lights on that "trailer", no DOT tires, and on and on.
@@jimchuk8511 Ahhh. Thanks.
Did you build the trailer or is there plans?
It started out as a boat trailer that I rebuilt to be wider and set up for the plane
@@jimchuk8511 thank you sir for the information I am curious why are you selling it such a beautiful plane
@@paulkainer269 I have a flying Kitfox 4 and a couple more projects as well. Flew the Avid again this afternoon.
