If you have thin guage piano wire to match the existing spring then you can stick a drill bit in a vice( a drill bit that goes in the loop of one of the remaining wires) bend it round the drill bit then cut off both ends to match the length of the others. It worked for me. Use a longish length of wire to make it easier to bend around the pin. Having said that I eventually gave up on my gear doors and took them off as below
I do it with the drill bit in my cordless drill, rather like this guy does it: https://youtu.be/ubQqYq5vmnc?t=117

Steel fishing leader wire is very good for making springs. It's available in a variety of gauges, and easy to find almost anywhere.

Originally posted by BigNug View PostI checked out the spare parts for both V1 and V2. Looks like it's the same retract with a 5.1mm diameter shaft, so it must fit. I'm going to order one and will report back.
Got my Red Avanti V 1.9 (V1 but with upgraded 12 blade 2150 Kv inrunner) out again and it's a new girl! Drop in fit and no need to change the ESC (but doesn't have thrust reverse-I like flying in a forward direction ). Been using the SMC HiV 6200 before, which weighs in at 848 gr but this time used the new SMC HiV 5900's which weigh 100 gr less at 740 gr. It's much quicker, flies lighter and I really didn't lose any flight time. It's definitely a worth while upgrade assuming your V1 is in decent shape. Had an issue with the first fan as it must not have been perfectly round and the blades almost immediately ground into the inside of the fan and seized up. I noticed the clearance tolerance on this fan is extremely tight, probably more so than on their previous fans. MRC sent me a new fan/blades, which I changed out, balanced, and it worked perfectly, although I really do hate balancing EDF's. Kinda like the new V2 paint scheme, but couldn't justify dumping the old one, even after 100 flights.

The V2 nose gear strut does work on a V1. The doors close a little sooner and slide on the tire as they close, but it works and helps reduce landing bounce.

Originally posted by Evan D View PostWhen I look at both the US and EU Motion sites all versions, new, old, ARF, PNP, all show out of stock. Where are you looking?
However, this is the information on the Freewing website. It says clearly "in stock" (but the price......)

My understanding is that’s a fake site and if you do order from it you’ll never receive it.
Raymond has it in stock but shipping will be bad. Freewing Avanti S V2 80mm 12 Blade EDF Sport Jet IR PNP Version (rc-castle.com)

Geezz... 122$ shipping to NL. Also, it would go through customs, which means another 21% added.
I'll wait... especially, that shipping will be free from MotionrcEU and I can pay in 3 interest free installments...

installed the avian 130 amp esc just like in the viper 90. Ran stock motor and stock fan. wanted the reverse thrust and thought it would be about the same speed or slightly faster. After installing the Avanti was actually much slower and flew aweful. anyone tried this esc with stock motor???
