DON RUSSEL'S GLASTAR VIDEO ANDY PARRISH - FEBRUARY VISIT VIDEO
Last Saturday I flew up to Jan's shop from Venice, FL to get the new gearbox. It was a great day to fly and an even better day after getting the new Gen III. Jan and Gary did the work to change it out and solved a couple of problems that I would have spent several days to figure out (I guess slow comes with age). The slip ring had to be "turned" and Gary manufactured the brush bracket for me. Jan has pictures and details for anyone that has the very old Quinti hub like mine (2000). After a couple of extra hours of work on the slip ring the new gearbox was on and boy does it look great! We ran it up, did some balancing and called it good.

This gearbox has got to be the biggest leap in Eggenfellner technology yet. Everyone without one should be making the change! It will turn your engine into the most durable powerplant on the market. I thought hard about the extra money but all you old flyers out there should just remember all the money you have spent just keeping the cylinders and crankshafts on your Lycosaurus. This gearbox is a fraction of the cost to keep most "certified" engines running. My engine is seven years old now and it still runs like a new one and with the Gen III I expect to continue flying for many more years.

Thanks Jan for another GREAT product! Going back to Venice, I think I was reading a bit higher cruise speeds, definately higher climb rate and very cool (175) gearbox temps. Things look great at this time and I will report more details on performance later.

ALLEN FULMER'S ENGINE HOME - It's one thing to see your engine on Jan's floor and quite another to see it next to your own airplane!!  And I know we are supposed to be creating a flyable airplane but I just love to LOOK at your marvelous piece of workmanship!!  I mean everything is just so professional and neat looking that I just want to display the thing for everyone to see and admire as I do!  I have GOT to get over that and get on with putting the engine in its intended place!! :)
Also, Kudos on the new manual.  Very readable.  Thanks again for such a wonderful product.

CHARLIE WALKER KEEPS FLYING THE GLASTAR PASSED 800 hrs

 

Hi Bill,

We have the normal 9 months of rain, wind and generally crappy wx but that usually doesn't stop much of the flying.  Most of my flts. are less than 15 min. to various places on the mainland so it takes a long time to accrue many actual flt. hrs.  According to my log book, I have 1588 take offs and luckily, the same amount of landings and I don't shoot T&G's.  The engine has been absolutely flawless since day one.  My friends with Lyc. and Cont. engines can't stand to hear about it! :>))  Glad to hear you're back in the air after the rebuild!...........Charlie


I had to laugh at your last comment Charlie. I find so many die hard Lycoming guys refuse to believe that an auto conversion can work to
well for so long. It truly baffles me why some of these fellows are so closed minded, negative and even downright nasty. Even when confrontedby overwhelming evidence, they prefer to ignore you taking off with Subaru power- eyes closed, fingers in ears and mouthing something inane, pretending it just can't be happening.

Impressive work. Keep it up.


Mike,

I can verify Jan's great support.  Having dealt with him for the past 7 years I have found him to be very honest and his product backing is way beyond what we normally find in the "experimental" market place.  I couldn't be happier with my fantastic engine and the support from Eggenfellner Aircraft.

Brian,

I don't fly for any organization.  I fly all the cancer/medical emergency flts. on a volunteer basis at no cost to the patient.  Have been doing it for 37 years in a C-206, C-182, C-172, C-150, Piper Cherokee, Super Cub and now my trusty Eggenfellner  2.5L powered GlaStar.  I still use the C-182 when the patient needs an EMT during the flt. other wise I use the GlaStar.
