HI Brian.
I've been following your travails with the engine, and I see you've kept it.
What did you change that Eggenfellner supplied so you could keep the
powerplant? I am curious what you were able to do.
Good luck with your project.

Subject: RV7-List: Moving Pictures
For those wondering how to move an airplane from the house to the airport,..
Here is a visual. Note that the picture with the black trailer is how
someone looks who just realizes that a car hauler is NOT wide enough. If it
has fenders,.. It isn't wide enough ;-(
An hour later, we had moved up to a 30,000 lb dozer trailer (CDL required)
which turned out to be perfect! The ramp angle kept the tail high, 8ft +
wide bed was just right. With just the gear and the engine mounts tied
down, it moved around some which was good but didn't move forward or back.
It takes a pretty good assortment of heavy tie downs but it really wasn't as
much of a problem as I thought it would be. 45 mph on the freeway was easy,
the problem was with the side roads which were pretty rough with a heavy
trailer and no load. A 20 mile trip in about 40 minutes. Took 5 minutes to
set the ramps and back it off.
Good Bogy-Bar is a requirement!

If's funny, I was a nervous Nellie but my buddy's who did the majority of
the loading were just fearless. As Allen said, " who cares, it's not my
airplane". (arms raised ;-) Apparently that takes all the stress off :-)

Thanks, Allen.
yeah, i'm still plugging away on the engine & determined to make it work.
I changed much of what Eggenfellner supplied, including ECU, wiring harness,
radiators, throttle
I'm hoping the new PSRU will hold together; reports seem fairly promising so
far.
Many parts, like the intercooler, have had to be modified.
I stayed with the supercharger, altho I had to change out the pulley &
bracket so it isn't being so badly overspeeded. One other STi owner in AUS
has stuck with the SC, others have gone to a turbocharger. From what
people tell me, I'm not expecting great life from the SC, cuz i'm told it's
the wrong type for this application. If it fails, I'll probably to the
turbo route.
I'm sticking with the alternator, altho others have swapped that out for a
more powerful one.
I had it all running & fully secured once, but then I had to tear out the
ECU and the entire wiring harness when the only one flying crashed due to
the factory ECU deciding it was time for "limp home mode". Now, it's
running again with much larger rads and the SDS ECU. I'm very happy with
the ECU, as well as the great support on it from Ross Farnham.
I added a thermostat to the oil cooler lines.
Several other STi owners had problems with the poorly-machined intake
manifold causing intake leaks, but mine seemed OK when i pulled it off.
I also didn't go with the original Eggenfellner ideas on fuel pump mounting,
wiring (EXP BUS), battery management, fuel pump management; all of which the
factory eventually abandoned & went with how I did it.
For the time I have in the FWF alone, I coudl have built at least one RV,
and for the money I have in it, I could have bought a nice used flying
plane.
I hear the engine kicks butt once it's going and if not overheating, so I'm
looking forward to someday experiencing that.

Thank you, Brian. Good luck! What a disaster you are working to overcome.
I went to SNF this Spring and Eggenfellner was there, exhibiting FWF kits.
