One other thing to think about is the Jabiru 5100 makes its peak power
at 3300 rpms.
the numbers say @ 2700 rpms, with a 76" dia prop the Motor will be making
somewhere in the low 140 HP range.

According to Jabiru:

Power Rating
170 hp @ 2700 rpm continuous, 180 hp @ 3000 rpm intermittent

I stand corrected. When I looked at that engine back a few years ago
@OSH they were claiming 180@3300. They must have lowered their "sweet
spot"...
