hey nice info. very solid performance all the way around. question: 24mph seems kind of slow, what does the gps say your slow flight forward speed is?
-
Hello again
Forgot the second part of your question.
The 90 mph in the video is 5800 rpm and 4.0 GPH
The 70 mph is 5000 rpm and 2.0 GPH
The 24 mph is 4200 rpm and 1.3 GPH
Inexpensive flying!

Hei there,
nice video. Which Avid type it is? I wanted to know the wing area of this bird. I have heard the HKS has got vibrations. How is urs when at modest speeds?

Hello
My plane is a C Model. The only time there is any issue with vibration is if I let the RPM get below 2000 RPM. As for all flight RPMs its like a sewing machine and as quiet as a ceiling fan :-) Well almost!

Looks like it performs at least as well as it would with a 582. What is your empty weight? Speedwing or STOL? On a side note where did you mount the transducer for your fuel flow gauge? I've got one sitting on my bench ready to go in my B model but having a hard time finding a place to get the trans vertical like they recommend.

I am using the same 71 by 37 prop that I used with the 582. The 582 turned it 5900-6100 rpm and the HKS turns it 5700-5900. Except for climb, all performance parameters are the same with the exception of fuel burn, reliability, and required maintenance. I was on a cross country this weekend with a 582 powered Kitfox and both planes fly the same speed at the same rpm.
My Avid is a Heavy Hauler and it weighs 560 pds empty.
My MGL fuel transducer is behind the panel at a slight angle.

5800 rpm: That's a lot of RPM for a motor, wont that hurt reliability?

Some engines yes, this engine no. 5800 RPM is max continuos without a time limit. The 1000hr TBO was established based on this. 6200 RPM is limited to 5 minutes. Most of my time is spent between 4800-5200 RPM.
