Avid Flyer, Jab 2200A, Trailer.

It's not a bad looking a/c, it always makes me smile, but I'm just not using it.

I allowed the permit to lapse last September, I believe she would pass a permit now but would benefit from being offline for a while and given a little TLC.

The EFIS has a well calibrated fuel flow function, whilst you can see the fuel in the tank, FF readings are accurate to within 3 percent.

I’m 31-2 inside leg, you wouldn’t want much longer legs, I am 5 11, so long back short leg, headroom OK. All Avid, KitFox, Eurofox, Escapade etc etc are cosy!

Avid and Kitfox a/c are built with a 50 ltr GRP tank in each wing root but due to disposable load considerations, Fox Victor was only configured from new to use her starboard tank. This tank developed a leak a few years ago and so was retired and supply configured to come from the Port tank. She has flown and been re-permitted many times in this configuration. There has never been a tank selector in the a/c, only ever plumbing to a single tank.

I feel due to this defect I have to offer FV for sale as a mild project rather than a fly away today prospect, she would suit a capable LAAer.

She is insured for £15k and I would be asking that if permitted with no defects, but as a project I’d be interested in offers of £10k+ to include the trailer.
