Avid Flyer ZK-DDB Out in the Sun at Whangarei Today 10-1-2018

I was very pleased to see Avid Flyer Mark IV ZK-DDB2 out flying in the sunshine at Whangarei today, as I had never seen it outside before.

The aircraft is registered to Craig's father Andy McNeal and Craig told me that they had both worked on its construction and rebuild over a period of 18 years.

Craig also told me that the Avid is flying well and now has a new sprung aluminium undercarriage which is wider than the original.  You can see the original at:  http://nzcivair.blogspot.co.nz/2013/12/avid-flyers-of-new-zealand-4_31.html
