About the Mark IV

The Avid Aircraft MARK IV is an American two-seat, light aircraft featuring a strut-braced high-wing layout, a conventional landing gear arrangement, and a single engine. Marketed primarily as a kit for amateur construction, the aircraft suits pilots seeking a versatile machine capable of operating from short, unimproved backcountry strips.

Developed in the early 1980s to bridge the gap between minimalist ultralights and traditional light planes, the prototype flew shortly after its initial design. Notable engineering characteristics include bonded wooden wing ribs and Junkers-style flaperons. Thousands of kits have been distributed across multiple continents, with variants achieving notable long-distance expedition milestones.
