Avid Aircraft Inc. made its reputation with the original Avid Flyer and Heavy Hauler kit planes. Despite manufacturing well-received kits, the company began to evaporate in the late 1990s. After a series of ownership shuffles, Avid is Airdale Avid, with a line of kits that include the entry level Mark IV and the Magnum, which has Cub-like performance.
