Seems like the person knocking a wonderful experiment in finding a new
engine and making it work in LSA's is upset. The person complaining must
have believed as many do that it would work wonderfully and be half the
price of the Rotax. He also knew that this was a new project for a
business dedicated to finding a reasonable option. Personal diatribes
against the experimental community, businesses and people who honestly work
in it really aren't necessary. The complainer did agreed to the experiment
when they placed the deposit and made the order for an engine that's never
truly been tested in many aircraft before. What's really changed? The
facts are that some of the engines are late because of design updates and
ones so far in aircraft run well. Delay is also well known function of the
experimental market. Some people will be upset with delay but most won't.
We can always grow up and pay for the Bombardier if we want well tested
engines now. Honda thought the en!
gine was worth selling, and on the track it simply screams while holding up
under vicious conditions. It also has the the same reliability on the
water. So far it looks like the experiment is working, and working well.
Time will tell. I for one hope it works well and Jan makes a few bucks on
his dedication to the experimental community.

For a minute there I thought I was on a William Wynne post. Not knocking
Jon as he has done some impressive stuff but why is it ok to take a mans
money and not deliver the product for months and sometimes even years? I know
it takes money for R & D but with that doesn't include not answering the
phone or hanging up on people because you can't deliver, most times a honest
conversation is all that is required for a smooth business transaction to
be completed and when hang ups become the norm the buyer has every right to
bitch and post about it.

Hmmm.
Here is my concept of business 101 when dealing with experimental stuff.
... I create an idea, spend MY money on development and test it beyond n
ormal methods to assure myself and the future buyer it is sound and viab
le. Only then will I ACCEPT a small deposit for me to furnish the custo
mer a working firewall forward powerplant. I will ask for the remaining
balance when that engine is finished and ready to ship. The original pos
ter claimed he paid a deposit, and then paid the remaining balance, wait
ed weeks, and got hung up on when questioning Eggenfellner on a delivery
date....... How many times have we seen people pony up good money onl
y to see it all lost by someone using future capital to fund their day t
o day expenses is a "less then prudent" way ? IMHO

| Subject: | Can't find a measurement in the plans |
Hi Guys,
I can't find a measurement in my plans and I am wondering if this is one of
those "fit to your plane" areas.
Can anyone tell me (roughly or specifically) what the amount of space should
be between the rear of the upper engine mount and the front of 65-C-2-2,
bottom bracket? This placement seems critical to me for proper geometry on
the canopy arms but I cannot find it in the plans.
Any help is appreciated.
thanks,
Steve

| Subject: | Bose A20 Headset - NR Power Button - Panel Power |
Dear Listers,
I bought a couple pairs of the new Bose A20's for the RV-8 and they are very nice.
NR is better than the Bose X's and they seem to fit my head a little better
too.
But I quickly discovered that with the A20's you now have to hit the NR Power button
*every time* you start the aircraft even if you have them panel powered.
The older Bose X headsets have a slide switch for the NR power and so you can
just put the slide switch in the On position and not worry about it.
I really didn't like having to turn the NR on all the time and having to remind
my passengers about it, so I came up with a modification that will automatically
turn the NR on when panel power is applied. Its pretty simple, but requires
some special tools. Its completely self-contained inside the Control Module
and works great. The modification is generally only for installations that
are panel-powered, but you could do the modification to a unit that is normally
battery powered with no adverse effect. With the modification, the NR Power
button will work normally in battery power installations.
I created web page on the procedure including step-by-step photos and instructions.
Feedback is welcome.
