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.

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.

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

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.

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, [email protected]. 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.

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

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.

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

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 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.

It is a Winkler system. They are based out of Canada.

@@dcavidflyer3073 Thank you! Keep up the amazing content.
