Eggenfellner Engines?
Does anybody out there have any experience with the Eggenfellner
conversion of the Subaru engine? I would like to hear both pro and con -- beyond the standard admonishments about certified vs noncertified engines, of which I am very aware. -- Remve "_" from email to reply to me personally.

Eggenfellner Engines?
It'll probably be a fracas about automotive vs. aircraft engines, not
certified vs. non-certified. Plenty of people here flying non-certified Lycoming clones, I bet, but the automotive discussion seems to create the most heat. I'm also interested in this subject, and would like to add the Mazda 13B rotary to the mix as a point of comparison, I'm curious about both. Regards, Ben Hallert

I interviewed the guy when he had his shop in NH, for Mick Myal's "Contact!" magazine. I was very impressed with his engineering and execution of the engine. The psru was very very elegant. He created his own manifolds and modified the Subaru electronics to work at flight power. His engine mount incorporated numerous tubes to triangulate extensively. Sorry, I've no information on any failures, I just haven't heard of any. That doesn't mean there have been none. Corky Scott

Eggenfellner Engines?
I built a RV-9A with a Egg engine. It was east to start, smooth, well
designed and reliable. I always felt comfortable behind it. JF "abripl" wrote in message oups.com... I've no information on any failures...
