About the Flyer

The Avid Flyer is a two-seat, single-engine, high-wing fixed-wing aircraft built primarily for amateur constructors in the homebuilt and ultralight categories. It suits backcountry enthusiasts and recreational pilots seeking light utility with short takeoff and landing capabilities, utilizing a side-by-side seating layout and dual controls.

Created by principal designer Dean Wilson, the type evolved through multiple marks featuring a welded chromoly steel-tube skeleton and fabric-covered surfaces. Builders could select interchangeable wing configurations, such as high-lift STOL wings with full-span flaperons or shorter speed wings, alongside options for floats, skis, or conventional landing gear.

{# the label links to these aircraft for sale, built in that span. On the label and not the count: the bands count every aircraft on the market (on_market) while the grid shows only those with a photo (live), so the count is not a promise of how many cards appear. A band cached before year_min existed renders as plain text rather than a link to an unfiltered list. #}
