Thanks for sharing, Paul. Yes, I think it is a good engine but - 

contrary to what Marco wrote (he might have been on an overdose of 

Christmas' spirit!  - I am not the analytical sort. I enjoy being 

'up there' without really measuring how and why.

I went for a few touch-and-go today (the first flying weather in 

weeks!) and was actually really amazed by the climbing power of my 

engine. Of course, all conditions were perfect; temperature just above 

freezing, me alone and little fuel. I was taking off and in a steep 

climb without even understanding what was happening (only a form of 

speech, my friend! .

I am also sure I could climb even better if I had a prop with a lesser 

pitch. But I fly from a 2,400 ft asphalt runway and no obstacle in its 

axis; I could even take off by flapping my arms, if I had to!  The 

propeller I have was recommended to me by the Jabiru dealer as a good 

compromise for economical cruising and I am very pleased with it. The 

only thing, though, is that the Jabiru wood props are not taking rain 

very well. Mine is still fine but I know that I should be looking for 

something slightly better because ... it's not easy to avoid rain in 

Norway!

Would someone please direct me to the Avid Yahoo site that  Paul referenced. Thanks, Don

Don,

  

 Go to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/avid_flyer/   for the Avid site.  Wander around and after a while it will make sense, as  it is a bit different than this forum.

  

 Paul
