Jim,
I appreciate your comments. Obviously, we think the airplane is a winner or we would have bought a different one. Would you mind expanding on your comment a bit? I don't have any experience with the Jabaru but I have flown a lot of airplanes with the 4-stroke, Rotax. In one form, it is a FAR33 certified engine. I hear people make comments like yours and I wonder what the reasoning is behind it. I have found the 912 to be a good engine. What engine would you prefer? We could put a O-200-LS in the airplane but it would cost about $6,000.00 more and your useful load would drop to 460 pounds. Fuel consumption would go up about a gallon per hour. In 1600 hours of personal flying, the only in-flight engine failure I ever experienced was on a Continental engine. Regards, Rick Pellicciotti Belle Aire Aviation LightSportFlying.com |
