--> RV9-List message posted by: "Bill Repucci" <bill@repucci.com>
Greg,
I have an O-290 that that will power my -9. I did talk to a gentleman
in Canada two weeks ago who built a -9A with this engine. (It is now for
sale in trade-a-plane due to a change in interest, read: antique car
restorations.) He spoke VERY highly of the combination and really
appreciated the cruise / GPH factor. He was truing at 170 mph (true)
with the low fuel burn of the -290. BTW, this was his second RV, the
first being a -320 powered -6 and he thought the -9A was a superior
aircraft. The prop he used was a 70" by 70" Colin Walker wood prop.
There are some comments from him on the "Things to Consider" page of my
web site, http://www.repucci.com/bill/things_to_consider.html.
I got a great deal on the -290 but it will need to have the accessory
case changed to one that can use a fuel pump, these are O-235 parts so
they are readily available, they just take time and money. I expect to
start pulling my engine apart in a few months so I will know more about
the conversion then.

New to the list and I'm curious if anyone has put an 0-290 in for power?
Suggestions?
Regrets?
Experiences?
All responses appreciated.

I posted this on the engines list and then figured why not spread it around.
Call me if you need any more info.

a professional aircraft engine builder. Dyno tested @ 140 HP. It is a certified
engine and the last asking price was $10,000. If interested, email Ron
at rgdplg@radiowire.net"
I too have an O-290 which I decided to sell. Please note this is not a certified
engine.
I bought this from a fellow Chapter 14 club member. It was used until fairly recently
in his Tailwind and reportedly has about 65 hours on it since a full rebuild.
It was removed when he decided to change to a Jabiru in the hopes (vain)
of getting more performance. It comes complete with several spares and engine
manuals. There is also a prop and spinner which I am willing to sell with
it.
It has been filled with 30 weight oil and the bores wiped with STP whilst I have
had it.
I live in the San Diego area but would be willing to deliver up to a couple of
hundred miles.
I am asking for $6,000 with the prop and spinner and $5,600 for just the engine.
Buyer to pay s & h if required.
For any more information please feel free to call me directly at 619 916 8059 or
email robshipley@gmail.com .
