Murphy Rebel

[Bob Patterson]

Hi Luke !

I hope your comments get to the right people at MAM, as it sounds like
the packing list needs to be fixed !!

A few extra bolts are always handy - you could make a list & get them
from the factory next time they're shipping something anyway. Wayne O'Shea
also has an incredible (like 30 tons !!) collection of parts & fasteners -
he's on this list, and has a web site ....

Sounds like you're making good progress. Have flown several Subaru Rebels
- the consensus here is: "Just leave it stock - it'll work just fine !" If
you can, get one of the new 2.5 litre Legacy engines - 165 hp STOCK !!
(Check the archives for last year's Rebel adventure ...)

Most of the Subaru convertors do a good job, and the higher powered
conversions are very nice, but at a cost ! Many have had good results
with just the stock engine - comments, Geert ?? , Dave .... ???

Hope you can join us on a Rebel Ramble one day. Keep on rivetting -
you'll really LOVE flying the Rebel !!!

Bob,
Sometimes it seems as though life is one humbling experience after

another. Yes, my latest query to MAM tech somehow got forwarded to the
builderss support page-oops!

But, since you asked, all of the bolts I have had absent ( 3 different

sizes so far, and all in the controls chapter ) have not been on the packing
slip, so there was no way to know of the discrepency before they were
needed. Unfortunately, I don't have a stash of random bolts to slip in in
their absence. I may need to pick up one of the AS&S assortments or similar yet.

Thanks for all of your helpful tips/input on the support page.

P.S.-I'm ?2/3? completed with 467R and hope to finish within the year;

will be installing a Subaru either left stock@ 130 Hp or with a cam regrind
to 170 Hp. I enjoy building but can't wait to get this in the air!

LUKE

G'day.


A murphy Rebel with nose gear?

A friend of mine says that he has seen one in the backblocks of Australia.

He has some photos awaiting development, and if it is a nose wheel Rebel I will post it.

Has anyone ever seen a conversion like this?

That would be an Elite which can be built with a nosewheel. It would seem that
hardly anyone does that though.

Hi Ian,
It might be an Elite. Those were designed to go both ways on the gear. If
it is an Elite it should also have a full castering nose wheel ,aka gruman
tigers. Curt N97MR

Hi Ian !

There IS a tricycle version of the Rebel - that's what the
Rebel Elite was designed to be.

Ian, I've had the design and mods drawn up since April 1994, but have yet to actually do one for myself. It will get done (someday), if I ever find the time to build the wife's Rebel for her. The "Elite" was done to incorporate tricycle gear. Does he possibly have pictures of an Elite in Australia??
