That would be a fun trip, non stop! Of course, having your girlfriend along
can be more fun!
I flew into Camarillo in 93 to visit Rich's shop prior to purchasing my kit.
I was also there in 97 or early 98, Rich was rebuilding the IO-240, and I
made templates of his baffling in order to build mine. It's a nice airport.
Hope you have a good trip!
Tim

If anybody passes by the Houston area, let me know. You have a place to
"crash" for a night or two. OK, maybe not "crash" but spend a night or two.

A friend of mine is thinking about buying an RV-9 with an
Eggenfelder/Subaru engine and I know some here have experience with this
set up. Is there anything he should be looking for or wary about with this
engine?

FYI for those who have this engine or a light weight TCM starter. Circa
1997.
My IO-240 came with a TCM starter, Part # 654046 E. It failed at 475
hours. I had been told by a TCM tech. that even though it had a Cont tag
on it, it was really made by B&C. I called B&C and made arrangements to
send it to them for repair. After they received it the called to advise
me that it was not one of theirs but a knockoff that Cont. had made. B&C
didn't think that Cont. would repair theirs anymore. I did not check
with Cont. because I decided I wanted one of B&C's. They sent me a new
one and my old one at no shipping charge. In a side by side comparison,
the B&C starter is much better built. There was a dramatic improvement
in prop rotation speed by the starter.
