Dave and Mark:

 

Great write ups guys!!!  If you're looking for a cross country on May 9th Mark remember we're doing a burger burn at our private airport just east of Tinker AFB (2OK2)...paved, 2700 ft long so no issues for non-canards...

 

Regarding Eggenfelner: I have two buddies doing RV-7's and one finally received his engine (sans prop) one year after promised, while the other also waited a year for a prop and finally got his brother-in-law lawyer to write a letter asking for the prop money back so he could go buy one from someone else.  Hopefully my buddy will get his prop this summer as promised so he can do his first engine start, etc.  

 

It also appears from the outside looking in that those who have ordered a "FWF" with a turbo or a super-charger are pretty much on their own to do the final development and make the thing work safely and nominally.  Problem is we do that by choice and they pay a lot of $$ for the privilege after being told it's a Firewall Forward deal... 

 

Many of the non-turbo / supercharger guys seem to have an okay FWF package but cooling is sometimes marginal on hot days and they seem to run 120-140 lbs. heavier than a Lycoming or rotary installation.  Well, enough on Subies...let's talk rotaries!!!
