| Subject: | FS: RV-7A ~80% complete |
Brian,
I am interested in your RV, I can only imagine how hard it is to give up a
plane you have put so much into. I have an Avid Magnum I built and love, but
would like to add something faster and have been looking at RV7s.
Is much involved in converting it to conventional gear?
Michael.

I've decided to sell my RV-7A project. It's just dragged on and on, and
I've lost interest in completing it. I have more interest in just flying my
Challenger II.
Engine is Subaru WRX STi 2.5 L supercharged. All the bugs are worked out
of the original Eggenfellner product. Most Eggenfellner-supplied
components have been replaced; SDS ECU, custom radiators, new wiring
harness, supercharger gearing. Engine runs great, and all it needs is
probably some more fine-tuning of the SDS ECU. John Moody in Australia has
been flying his awhile. Includes latest Gen3 rev 4 PSRU, installed.
Includes MT7 electric prop, installed.
Three EFIS systems installed - Blue Mountain "gold box" EFIS/One, GRT
Horizon, and Dynon D10. Blue Mountain AP installed. GRT EIS installed
Full Garmin stack trays installed & SL-30 included. Sandia TSOd encoder,
Tipup canopy completed but not final-installed.
Needs rear window installed, 1 panel each wing installed, top fuse panel
behind window and fwd of canopy installed (left out for wiring access). No
fiberglass work done.
Includes Advanced Flight Systems AoA, wig-wag HID lights, bulletproof
electrical system based on Bob Nuckolls' designs and Hyperion products, low
fuel warning, low coolant warning, fuel pressure warning, electric flaps,
electric trim, custom console, heater, Oregon Aero seats, Hooker harness,
Show Planes Flaps Positioning System, Infinity Aerospace grips, cabin
lighting, custom baggage compartment and other customizations (see my custom
page http://www.meyette.us/custom.htm ). Includes finishing kit and all
parts (except remaining Garmin components) to finish it. All gear mounted
and brakes installed. Van's front gear leg SB installed. Panel complete,
except Garmin wiring.
Empennage is done & final-installed. Flaps & ailerons all done. Wings
not installed.
And much more - this is a list off the top of my head of some of the main
components.
Entire project very extensively documented at
http://www.meyette.us/RV-7Ahome.htm No effort or expense spared in doing
everything RIGHT.
Only asking $55k for it - way less than cost and making the FWF essentially
FREE. Will also trade for an RV-12

Thanks for all the kind words, guys. Well, people aren't beating down the
door to buy it, so if no buyer, I will just have to rededicate myself to
finishing it. I love flying my Challenger, but I'm sure the RV would be
even more fun, especially for longer trips. Like a long bicycle trip, I
need to just focus on each little bit that needs doing, and not concern
myself with the destination. Eventually, I'll be at that destination.

Brian,
You are so close and the workmanship looks excellent. I have watched your
website for several years...sure wish I could read your first flight report.
Best wishes,
Bill

Yeah, part of the problem is that I put so much care and effort into every
little part, and I veered off into some custom stuff. But mainly the engine
development kinda wore me out.
I know Van's has converted one (and back again, IIRC). I believe they made
it sound like it wasn't a big deal for them. It sure isn't something I'd
want to do, but then I am in a state of being just TIRED of working on it,
anyway. Perhaps you could ask Van's or ask on this list or the Matronics
RV list or the VAF site and someone more knowledgeable than me about such an
undertaking could give you a more accurate estimate of how much work would
be involved. From what I hear from the guys who've gotten one of these
STi-powered RVs flying, the STi engine really kicks some butt now that we've
gotten the bugs worked out. With the supercharger on, the brakes won't
hold it back and full boost isn't even needed for takeoff. From the
feedback I've heard from the guys flying them, you just have to be careful
you don't accidentally exceed Vne at altitude.
