Just saw one of these online today. And since I had never heard of them, thought others might like a look see! Garry

That is similar to the Avion, but I like the Avion's riveted construction better. I like the Barth's bottom section better for structural integrity.
I don't get this? The Barth is all riveted, and all aluminum framing. The Barth has no welding anywhere.
It has a larger volume and more interior space. The edge the Avion has is its lighter weight, and better aero-dymanics. It would be easy enough use the same techniques used to build the Barth to fabricate an aluminum bottom section on an Avion--which would make it indestructible.
Sailor,
I agree that Avion should have gone the direction of your Barth. Ozone question about your framework. Is the framework riveted, screwed or welded? I can tell the skin is riveted like the Avions, but couldn't tell from the pics about the framework.
Thanks!
