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.

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 . Rob Rob W M Shipley N919RV (res) Fuselage .....still!
