We had a nice fly-in here in Michigan last week end. Granted not as nice as you guys had at Homer's but a whole lot closer to me. Kolbs were well represented. About half the planes were Kolbs. There were three firestars one with a Hurth, one mkII with a 503, one MKIIIC with a VW (mine), and one MKIIIX with a Jabaru.

I was fairly impressed with the Jabaru on the MKIIX. It was very smooth and quiet (it had a very effective muffler). It also had a wood Sensenich prop. The plane was loaded to gross weight or more but flew well for a direct drive engine. Maybe having the right prop is the key. Now it didn't perform like a 80 HP 912 or my redrive VW but it flew a whole lot better than my old direct drive VW did.
