Quick question:   I'm not too optimistic about this but what kind of 

performance would I expect to see with the Jab 2200 on a max loaded 

601XL?    I'll stand back....

the XL was designed for 100 hp or more engines in mind, specifically Jabiru 3300 and Rotax 912S.  If you only have 80hp, better stick with the basic 601UL or 601 model that are set up for that range. If you are yet to buy the engine, the 3300 is not much more $ than a 2200 anyway.



I can't answer with direct experience, but expect a 601XL would be unsatisfactory with any 80hp direct drive engine, be it VW, EA81 or 2200.

Hi John,

Max loading is the variable here.  If the plane were built light to 

begin with contrary to current trends, the engine would probably perform 

well, not great, but o.k.

With a single header tank, two people and 40 lbs baggage, starting with 

an empty weight less than 650 lbs, you'd be surprised at the economy and 

distance you'd be

able to go.  I bet someone has already done it out there.

Ralph,

Several Stratus and Ram EA-81s are being put on XLs of late as they 

offer not less than 100 hp and performance in line with or better than 

the 0-200

class engines. They cost much less to buy and can operate on 87-octane 

car gas or 100LL.

you can put an engine smaller than 90 hp on the XL. Just check the weights when flying.  CHeck with Zenith and the Heintzs, there are XLs flying just fine with less than 100 hp.  Frankly I have a 3300 Jab and I hardly use full power.

thats not entirely correct,  if that is the case a O 200 would not be n the the XL as it's max HP rating is 95 hp.  there have been less HP egnies on XLs and depending on weight issues, work fine.  JUst do the research. 2200 may work but you may have long take offs.

Notice Ralph said "Direct Drive".  The Ram and Stratus

engines have re-drives.

Do not archive.
