There must
be folks out there who can design and fabricate the missing pieces of
the puzzle. It seem there is a lot of re inventing the wheel.

There are certainly people working on the parts, but I don't imagine a complete FWF package in the near future, unless there's a significant demand.  I understand that Eggenfelner was considering a Renesis package for the RV-7/-10, but I don't think he's pursuing it.  The other problem with complete packages, is that you get what they give you, rather than exactly what you want. As nice as the new Renesis sounds, it is going to complicate the process of providing the components we need, since it's somewhat different from the usual 13B engine. 
 
I have a friend who's building an RV-10, and try as I might to talk him into a Renesis, he's planning a turbo Subaru from Eggenfelner.  Despite all the parts that are available, he just won't consider anything but a complete FWF package.  His loss, and I plan to make him regret it :-)
