I think this might be the engine for me, but, if anyone knows a good reason
why I shouldn't go for a Jabiru, please say so before I get over excited and
buy one.
Sorry Tony R, couldn't resist it :)
How would the weight and balance work out with 50lb less in the nose? That is a
lot of weight to lose up front without considering whether you are going to be
tail heavy. Mind you, even if you have to add 50lb of extra weight in the nose
to get it back in balance you will probably save on engine cost and maintenance.
It does look like a very nice engine. I suspect that there will be a fair
amount of mounting and cowling work to be done as the direct drive from the
engine will probably be at a lower location than the gearbox driven output of
the 912. I would also look at what the performance will be like under the
Europa's
cowl. Don't forget that the Europa effectively runs the 912 with carb heat
on all the time (or at least it draws its air from within a warm environment
rather than pulling cold air via a separate duct.
One for Andy & co.... Did the top air inlet vent fitted to ODTI give any
performance
increase over the other 912 fitted aircraft?

#272 Stbd cores now comfortably bonded to the spar. Many thanks to Miles'
article
in February Flyer (arrived Saturday!) for his tip to bond bits of foam to the
spar and then sand them back to align the cores. Works a treat.
