Hi Builders
This is a brief report on the Jabiru Installation Workshop in Cloverdale,
Ca last weekend.
Jim McCormick from Jabiru Pacific brought a Jabiru 3300 engine plus
Firewall Forward package to the Cloverdale Hangar and Brad Demeo made his
builder assisted 601xl kit available for the engine installation. In the
time between noon Friday and noon Sunday the engine was pulled out of its
box, made ready for hanging from the mount, attached to the xl, various
lines were connected and the bottom cowl was installed. Jim started the
engine at about 12:20 on Sunday- it worked beautifully.
I think that all the workshop participants left with the confidence to put
a Jabiru into their own kits. Michael Heniz was an incredible host
providing meals, local information and demo xl rides. Bob Archibald of
Dragonfly aviation provided instruction flights in another xl to several
of the participants.
Lance Gringell showed up Sunday morning with his beautiful Jabiru
equipped xl.
This was a very well organised, entertaining and worthwhile event. In a
few weeks there will be a similar Corvair / Zenith 601 workshop and a
Rotax event might happen later in Cloverdale
Thanks to Jim and Michael for doing this! Thanks also to Ken, Doug, Bob,
Lance and others who helped.

I am registered to go to the Corvair version. I am excited and can't wait. I will be taking lots of pictures and any notes I can during the process for those that are putting this engine on the front of your plane. I was down there in may and I expect this to be a great time. Hope to see one or two from the list there as well.
