Limp home destroyed my plane and slightly damaged George Moore's plane. The limp home problem will occur under a variety of conditions when the ECU logic thinks the engine will be damaged. This feature is active when the sensors think the "car" is in "neutral" or "park." The solution is to simply ground the pins associated with "park" and "neutral." There was an article in Contact Magazine in 2006 or 2007 explaining which pins needed to be grounded. I don't remember which pins to ground so if anyone needs this information, they should search the archives of Contact Magazine and get the right information.

THANKS! I will pass this on to him so he can make a "informed" decision. I am "old school" that still relies on engines designed for aircraft. I am not an experimenter when it comes to engines.

Have only seen the masses of VERY mixed opinions of the Eggenfellner set up ... Your friend should do LOTS of hmwork on this idea . There was an entire Forum running, of dissatisfied Eggenfellners owners who got together to try and get their FWF combos sorted ...!! The challenge is to harness the advances of modern technology and apply this to aviation use . Single lever engine control ... stable engine temps through climb/decent ... ignition timing optimizing power and fuel efficiency (knock control) ... are the main gains ...
The task involves three major items ..Engine .. ECU (engine computer) ... and the Redive ( gearing of engine speed to Prop speed .... The three units of course have to work in concert ...sounds easy enough .. But each one has its own index of special complexities ... and marrying this up is the 'holy grail' ..that aero/auto folks strive for ... as yet its still an untamed beast and not suited to the faint hearted ...!!!
Cheers

A friend of mine is thinking about buying an RV-9 with an Eggenfelder/Subaru engine and I know some here have experience with this set up. Is there anything he should be looking for or wary about with this engine?
