Hello,
I am working on my RV7 Empennage and have ordered my qb to pickup in mid
January. Now I want to minimize the shipping costs and I am going to pickup
the QB kit at Vans's. It will give me a nice break from work and we can
visit the inlaws on the way (what fun). Now I need to decide on what
powerplant in hang on the front end of this thing and I am torn between a
couple of choices. I am looking for some input from other builders who have
researched and/or installed the Subaru H-6 engine.
At this juncture I am looking at either the io-360(tried and true) or the
Eggenfellner H-6(looks sharp and if packed with new type technology, water
cooled, lower op costs, lower tbo costs, and burns mogas and 100ll). Another
option is the new io-390 but I haven't really looked at that. So any
comments on the soob. I have discussed with various folks including a local
AME (great guy) and various pilots at the hanger that I often show up for
coffee at. I have watched the eggenfellner yahoo list but I am still not
entirely certain. So I am looking for some totally biased input. If you have
installed one of these beasts or can direct me to some unhappy or happy
owners that would be fantastic.
