Hi gentlemen,

subject says it all. Are there already any experiences with the new
Jabiru 5100 engine? So far the only information I have found was the
one on the Jabiru website.

A good friend is finishing an RV7A with that engine in it. May be
only a few weeks away from flying.

I know that Jabiru bought an RV6 for testing and they have some
several hundred hours on it. I've seen it flying.

Eight cylinders may have some advantages over 4. The smaller cylinders
likely will have better combustion and if you lose one the engine may
still deliver useful power without running too rough. Guess how they
know.
