I do not understand why this topic has commanded so much time and space on KRnet. Both the Corvair and the Jabiru are good choices for the KR. The Jabiru costs about $10,000 more than the Corvair in the US. This seems to be a critical point because I keep seeing builders in the US writing that the Jabiru is too expensive and builders OUTSIDE the US asking why they should build a heavier Corvair. Maybe $10,000 US is not much money in Europe and Australia. Builders outside the US probably find it just as expensive to find and build a Corvair as to buy a Jabiru. Put whatever you want in it. Isn't that why they call it experimental? Frank Ross

Other than cost what is the advantage of using the Corvair 2700 100 hp (realizing they can be developed to put out more power) over the Rotax 100 and 115hp which are a both much lighter engine. 62.6kg and 70kg respectively.
