I’ve decided to sell my RV-7A project. It’s just dragged on and on, and I’ve lost interest in completing it. I have more interest in just flying my Challenger II.
Engine is Subaru WRX STi 2.5 L supercharged. All the bugs are worked out of the original Eggenfellner product. Most Eggenfellner-supplied components have been replaced; SDS ECU, custom radiators, new wiring harness, supercharger gearing. Engine runs great, and all it needs is probably some more fine-tuning of the SDS ECU. John Moody in Australia has been flying his awhile. Includes latest Gen3 rev 4 PSRU, installed. Includes MT7 electric prop, installed.
Three EFIS systems installed – Blue Mountain “gold box” EFIS/One, GRT Horizon, and Dynon D10. Blue Mountain AP installed. GRT EIS installed
Full Garmin stack trays installed & SL-30 included. Sandia TSOd encoder,
Tipup canopy completed but not final-installed.
Needs rear window installed, 1 panel each wing installed, top fuse panel behind window and fwd of canopy installed (left out for wiring access). No fiberglass work done.
Includes Advanced Flight Systems AoA, wig-wag HID lights, bulletproof electrical system based on Bob Nuckolls’ designs and Hyperion products, low fuel warning, low coolant warning, fuel pressure warning, electric flaps, electric trim, custom console, heater, Oregon Aero seats, Hooker harness, Show Planes Flaps Positioning System, Infinity Aerospace grips, cabin lighting, custom baggage compartment and other customizations (see my custom page http://www.meyette.us/custom.htm ). Includes finishing kit and all parts (except remaining Garmin components) to finish it. All gear mounted and brakes installed. Van’s front gear leg SB installed. Panel complete, except Garmin wiring.
Empennage is done & final-installed. Flaps & ailerons all done. Wings not installed.
And much more – this is a list off the top of my head of some of the main components.
Entire project very extensively documented at http://www.meyette.us/RV-7Ahome.htm No effort or expense spared in doing everything RIGHT.
Only asking $55k for it – way less than cost and making the FWF essentially FREE. Will also trade for an RV-12

I’ve been following your travails on this project and I’m really sorry you had the misfortune of believing in Eggenfellner. I bet if you’d instead gone with Lycoming power you might have hundreds of flight hours in it by now.
Best of luck,

Or if you had been fortunate enough to go with the normally aspirated
2.5l Subaru which was also available at the time you went for the STi
version.
Sad to see this outcome, you are so close.

Hi Richard,
Actually, I'm a dweeb that flies a store- bought airplane, a Twin Comanche
at VAY; N9NY, in community hangar 1. I've always been interested in the
homebuilt category but could never get started on a project. You may know
it's a hotbed of activity here so if you're interested, I'd be glad to
introduce you around to the folks building here.
My cell is 856 979 4746.
I'm flying out early tomorrow (before they shut down the airport for repairs
to the runway) to go to the show at SNF. Will return late Saturday.
Fly safe,
Allen

Brian,
You are so close and the workmanship looks excellent. I have watched your website for several years...sure wish I could read your first flight report.
Best wishes,

Brian,
I am interested in your RV, I can only imagine how hard it is to give up a plane you have put so much into. I have an Avid Magnum I built and love, but would like to add something faster and have been looking at RV7s.
Is much involved in converting it to conventional gear?
Michael.

Thanks for all the kind words, guys. Well, people aren’t beating down the door to buy it, so if no buyer, I will just have to rededicate myself to finishing it. I love flying my Challenger, but I’m sure the RV would be even more fun, especially for longer trips. Like a long bicycle trip, I need to just focus on each little bit that needs doing, and not concern myself with the destination. Eventually, I’ll be at that destination.

Yeah, part of the problem is that I put so much care and effort into every little part, and I veered off into some custom stuff. But mainly the engine development kinda wore me out.
I know Van’s has converted one (and back again, IIRC). I believe they made it sound like it wasn’t a big deal for them. It sure isn’t something I’d want to do, but then I am in a state of being just TIRED of working on it, anyway. Perhaps you could ask Van’s or ask on this list or the Matronics RV list or the VAF site and someone more knowledgeable than me about such an undertaking could give you a more accurate estimate of how much work would be involved. From what I hear from the guys who’ve gotten one of these STi-powered RVs flying, the STi engine really kicks some butt now that we’ve gotten the bugs worked out. With the supercharger on, the brakes won’t hold it back and full boost isn’t even needed for takeoff. >From the feedback I’ve heard from the guys flying them, you just have to be careful you don’t accidentally exceed Vne at altitude.
Brian
