Somebody made the statement: "Why would somebody buy a Jabiru over a Rotex?"
The answer is simple "money". Over on this side of the pool the 914 cost 38,000
USD when I ordered my Jabiru. The Jabiru only cost me 18,700 USD firewall
forward.
For the extra 10,000 USD I was able to install a Garmin 430W, MGL Voyager,
TruFlight servos.
I can afford to chase the heating/cooling problems. John Lawton is a great
source
of information. I may have to make modifications once I start flying, but
I feel good about the money I have saved. Sure I may wished for a 914, but
I just could not bring myself to spent that amount of money on engine.
Looking forward to chasing the gremlins.
