Anyone with a Subaru care to give us a status report on your numbers? Fuel consumption,
package type, maintenance costs, unexpected issues? I'd rather here
it from you than the manufacturers.
I'm thinking engines now, and I liked the NSI package (Eggenfellner, too) at Oshkosh,
but I'm still wondering.

can anyone help me with the fitting and installation of the F6111 rear deck stiffeners.
I can't find a manual reference and the notation on the drawing of using
prepunched holes in skin as guide doesn't help with regard to adjusting the
length for proper fit.

Take a look at the archives on subaruaircraft@yahoogroups.com. There
has been a lot of discussion lately regarding performance. Also look at
the "NEW" page on www.eggenfellneraircraft.com where actual results are
posted.

This comes up periodically. You can search the archives for one. I
have attached an answer I gave a few months ago.
Additionally I have pictures I can send but do you have broadband or
dialup?
Previous comments:
I just went through this (and have purchased two new to replace the ones
I cut too much!).
Basically, there were NO instructions in my plans (RV9A). I called
Van's and they sent me a single sheet printout that had more info, but
still no guidance.
Basically, you only have to cut a small amount from the top section so
it fits against the baggage bulkhead. Draw a line in the center of the
part where the holes will be drilled and start at the bottom drilling
and clecoing. The bottom section (next to the longeron) does not get
trimmed (unless you need to snip a bit from the flange so the part
doesn't rub the longeron. When you get near the top, the end should fit
under the skin so it shares one rivet with the skin/bulkhead. Carefully
trim a little from the rear flange and possibly from the main section
bit-by-bit until it will go under the skin and allow you to drill the
last rivet with the skin/bulkhead.
The trick is to trim just a little at a time. The first one I did, was
horrible (since I had no idea how to proceed). The second was pretty
good (could have been a little better but was acceptable). Since I had
to replace one, I just bought them both and will replace them both now
that I know how to do it.

P.S. They came out great this time!

John,
I had trouble with mine as well, and I was fortunate to have someone
else send me some pictures, so hopefully I can help you out.
I documented my installation at the following page:

Hope this helps,

Bryan, I'm just finishing up my 9-A and had the very same problem with especially
the nose wheel, but to a lesser extent the main wheels. I spoke to Ken at
Van's who said "they'll loosen up after a while," but still doesn't seem quite
right to me. So you're not alone.

Has anyone had problems with wheel bearing grease being too thick? I
assembled my wheels last night and used a grease I had on hand labeled "High
temp disk brake bearing grease". It seeemed a little thicker than the stuff
that was on the main wheel bearings as delivered. At any rate I assembled
the wheels and they seems fairly hard to turn. The wheels all turn smoothly
but, It takes at least a few pounds of force on the tire to start them in
motion and there is definitely no "free-wheeling". Are everyones wheels this
stiff or is it just b/c I used thicker grease???
