Hi Ian

THat was my impression too that maybe the Jabiru was being field tested by
the customers at their expense. Seems to be more enthusiasm for the Rotax.

Thanks

Phil

G'day Phil


Buy the Rotax!

I am also in the land of the Jabiru and much prefer the Rotax.

There are a number of reasons, but the Rotax is a well sorted engine with
great technical backup, where as I feel that the Jabiru is still being

field
tested with their customers.

There have been many problems with my friends who have Jabs and none with
the Rotax owners.

Regards

Ian

Thanks Michael, thought being from Australia you would have been a Jabiru
fan.so guess you have had problems with them.

Looking to buy either a Jabiru or Rotax 4 stroke engine.

RELIABILITY is the most important factor.

Seems like the Jabiru should be better with lower RPM but believe that

Rotax
have more engines in service and therefore more development time and

hence
reliability.

Any comments welcomed.

Phil
