Does anyone know how to build this, what parts are needed, and what PCB files/gerbers are used?

The closed captioning is rather hilarious as it is unintelligible gibberish.

Joe has decided to keep AVA to himself. I believe that the videos about it mention some of the processors and sensors used on the board, but not much beyond that. Even if the files were out there, you'd need to roll your own code.

What do you want a flight computer to do? There aren't really any commercially available options for TVC, but there are tons of good options that can do pretty much everything else AVA can do. Also, as someone who's flown AVA, it's not great for typical hobby rockets. The large board size and external radio module and GPS antennas mean that it takes up a ton of space.

How did you fly one?

Do you happen to know if he will revisit Phineas, or was that a one off? I can see some applications for a high-altitude flight...

Same reason my buddy can drive my Corvette, but you can't.

I don’t have a driver license so good idea
