No reason was given. I do not know if this was an isolated incidence but I suggest you have a talk with your insurer first.

I will check out the web site, as I am currently flying the Europa XS with a 914 engine. We have an RV7 kit ordered, and the Superior XP 360 was one of the engines that we are looking into.

Go to the EAA website for more info. This has been fully addressed now. That there is some need to keep the "internet urban legend" of the non insureability of these engines alive is what it is--legend. Do Not Archive.

My RV -7 has landing/nav/strobe lights in the wingtips. My question is does one take a seperate ground wire to the wingtips from the ground bus or do you just ground it to the nearest point in the wing and what AWG do I use for the ground wire?
