Do you guys know if anybody is installing an Egg Subby on an RV10? What about any other alternative powerplants?

I'm thinking he was referring to the supercharger.Yukon said:Oh my God! You are going to weigh it after you buy it???? What if it weighs
too much???? Apologizing in advance my lack of sensitivity, but it looks like a something you would put in a tugboat!
They weighed it, but would only say "it's heavy". Some beefing up of the nose strut was in order-retractable remember-as well as some firewall work. I'm not very familiar with Lancair construction, so I don't know if this is normal or not. I know the IO-550 Conti's that normally go up there are heavy as well.TSwezey said:A lot of the rubber tubing and the two radiators really add to the bulky look. It probably is very similiar to your friend's engine. Did he weigh his? We did a preliminary weight calculation and we should be about 50-60 lbs heavy. Now, does that match reality? We shall see. Ours has a supercharger and AC so it will be and look heavy than the normal IO-540 installation.
