Somebody made the statement: "Why would somebody buy a Jabiru over a Rotex?"
The answer is simple "money". Over on this side of the pool the 914 cost 38,000 USD when I ordered my Jabiru. The Jabiru only cost me 18,700 USD firewall forward. For the extra 10,000 USD I was able to install a Garmin 430W, MGL Voyager, TruFlight servos.
I can afford to chase the heating/cooling problems. John Lawton is a great source of information. I may have to make modifications once I start flying, but I feel good about the money I have saved. Sure I may wished for a 914, but I just could not bring myself to spent that amount of money on engine.
Looking forward to chasing the gremlins.
