Well Dave, best I know the thread is still open. We don't all pull our pants on the same way. But please do stop whining about the product and others who are trying to make it work resulting in threads being locked down. I am not about to suggest everything here is perfect, but these engines are working reasonable well considering the world we live in.įor those who do not like Subaru, move on to something different. There are many pilots flying behind a Subaru and satisfied.
THUNDER TIGER REDLINE 53 PROBLEMS FULL
Zoch and Delta Hawk probably have a couple semi trucks full of technical numbers but neither engine is a success in terms of EAA members flying behind one. The clamor for more and more technical data is boring. An effort with the Defiant, it failed but is on going - brand new engine burned up when a cooling system failed. Many frustrating failures along the way and a few successes - the Italian 4 seater, the GlaStar and the RV's. What is there to show for it - zip, nada - no one is flying behind one beyond their eternal test programs.Įggenfellner on the other hand has bolted one engine after another on an airplane to see if it will work. Zoch and Delta Hawk have been leading us around the track like dogs at a dog track going on at least 25 years. OK, what are some facts in the world of experimental engines and experimental airplanes. Sort of like feeding herring one at a time to a great white shark. No amount of "hard core technical exchange" will change that situation and yet, there is a continuing request for more information as what has been discussed does not satisfy an appetite that can not be satisfied. Another way to say it - don't bother with me with facts, my mind is made up. Truth is, Dan Horton's thread is locked down because there are mind sets here that have judged the alternative engine effort a failure and the issue is closed.
