    Subject: Re: alternative engines
    --> RV10-List message posted by: James Hein <n8vim@arrl.net> I'll bite! I'm in the same position, that is I can't see spending $40k for a new engine, so I'm about 80% sure at this point I'm going to go with the Eggenfellner Subaru engine (H6) on my -10. I recently had an impressive ground demonstration (weather sucked for flying) of an RV-9A with the Egg 4-cylinder engine on it. Very impressive to say the least. Very quiet, lots of torque, and smooth... very smooth... As an engineer, I like the liquid cooling since tolerances can be much closer in the engine (and hence, less oil burning), etc. I won't need an engine for 2-3 years (due to financial reasons), so I'm keeping my options open right now. As for primer, I'm Alodining and Epoxy priming (PPG DP50LF) everything I can. My plane won't be a hangar queen with what I get paid around here! :) I am lucky in one respect though; Here in taxachusetts, would you beleive there is NO tax on airplanes or airplane parts? This is my opinion; What's yours? -Jim 40384, Drilling bottom wing skins... jdalton77 wrote: > H aha ha. > > Seriously, any way to not spend 40k on an engine? > >* > > >* >

    Subject: Engines?
    I have located an IO-540-M1B5D. It has several aspects that need to be changed to make it suitable for an RV-10. It has up exhaust, rear air intake, and the dual mag setup but my plan was to get a serviceable case and crank and then put new cylinder assemblies on it. I am assuming I can then get the correct sump to move the air intake forward and maybe even a different accessory cover to allow separate mags. If the case and crank are good, this might be a pretty good deal since there is a Hartzell 3 blade included. Has anyone had any success with changing sumps and/or accessory drive covers on a similar engine? Albert Gardner Yuma, AZ

    --> RV10-List message posted by: "jdalton77" <jdalton77@comcast.net> Nice to hear "Taxachusettes" isn't. It's hard to tell with all the campaign commercial - but you're comments tell another story - at least regarding airplanes. We're not so lucky here in MI with 6%. I'm leaning toward Egg myself. We'll have to see what happens when a few of his engines fly in RV-10's by the end of the year. I hear there are a few being delivered in October. I'm priming interior and exterior using rattle-can self-etching primer for the small parts before assembly and POR-15 Self-Etching primer for the exterior and assembled parts inside. So far it's worked out really well - though a bit pricey at $145/gallon. ----- Original Message ----- From: "James Hein" <n8vim@arrl.net> Sent: Monday, September 04, 2006 5:35 PM Subject: Re: RV10-List: alternative engines > --> RV10-List message posted by: James Hein <n8vim@arrl.net> > > I'll bite! > I'm in the same position, that is I can't see spending $40k for a new > engine, so I'm about 80% sure at this point I'm going to go with the > Eggenfellner Subaru engine (H6) on my -10. > > I recently had an impressive ground demonstration (weather sucked for > flying) of an RV-9A with the Egg 4-cylinder engine on it.

    Subject: Static port question
    Does anyone have any pictures of how they ran their static port tubing? Did you drill out holes for bushings in the ribs and what size did you use? I went with the Van's pop-rivet kit because I never got around to researching anything else and the time has come to install. Any pointers would be appreciated. -Ben Westfall #40579 Tailcone. still
