Hello!
Sorry, have not looked at this side for a while.
OK, Eggenfellner, had some problems, now we are back on line.
Supposed to get the new 3.6 liter subaru middle of april.
Looked up some specs on it and they are not to bad. More hp's , better low rpm torque, regular gas and of course smooth running. Don't know what prop at this time. The 4 bladed one that eggenfellner is selling ( Quinti hub and carbonfiber blades made by sensenich ) looks nice but 4 blades = DRAG.
The engine is smooth already so even a 2 bladed one would do fine.
Prince? He will make on for your application. IVO? The only thing I do not like on IVO is the slip rings are made out of aluminum. I wonder how fast brushes will wear?
Still have not received the Odyssey's. They are sitting in CA.
I have got the Odyssey Simulator running and it looks very nice.
The thing is they use 1.5 amp's at full brightness and that is not bad for power consumption.
Has anybody installed 2 batteries in the rear of the RV-7A. Would like to see some pictures. Thanks
Will be going on one of Bob's (aeroelectric connection) seminars in GA in February if enough sign up for it.
Just some advice, If you are planing to install batteries in the rear, make sure you drill holes underneath the baggage area to run wires. It is hard to do after things are installed.
Happy New Year.

Hey Ranier!
As a cursory thought, 2 batteries in the back of a -7(A or not) seems like a lot of weight in the aft cg area.
I am trying to keep my tail as light as possible in my -7. This way the elevator authority will be maximized.
They say the -7's are prone to being tail heavy with a small motor and a plastic or wood prop. I am not sure what the Egg package weighs, but personally I would get the engine in place before installing the batteries and do an initial weigh-in.
