 |
|
So is Jabiru really going to build a 2 cylinder to compete with
smaller Rotax's. I spoke with the man himself a couple years ago at
Sun & Fun, he seemed very firm like he didn't want to do business in
that competitive area. They had an article in the Australian UL
magazine back in 97 I believe it was about having developed a 2
cylinder but then didn't produce it. Much be looking to increase
their revenue stream. heard any definite when there to be on the market?

I keep my UltraStar just about 400 - 500 feet from the Jabiru
'factory' or US distribution facility now located on the
Shelbyville, TN airport. It's here that customers can come and
assemble their aircraft with the Jabiru engines. It's a great
looking combination and there is a couple of customers assembling
every day. I believe it takes about two weeks and is licensed as
homebuilt with the customer doing a little over 50% of the work to
be legal. This has been going on now for about 8-10 months and a lot
of them have flown away with happy owners. I don't know of any that
have come back or reported trouble, so the Jabiru engine can't be
too mediocre. There seems to be a line up of customers waiting for a
spot to build and fly. Business is so good that Jabiru has asked
for a new building twice as large. They are getting ready to produce
a two cylinder version of the engine.

Hahaha, not to bright a guy, he went from buying a horrible engine
to buying a mediocre engine...
The Roatx 912S is a far superrior engine to either of those. I would
save for as long as it takes to get a great engine rather than throw
away what you have on something you will never be happy with.
