Hi Folks
Regarding the new light weight O200. I looked at it at the recent AOPA
Summit in Tampa and it is the same old " reliable" technology with a
lighter weight starter. The oil sump looks like something that was made in a
high school welding class and the carburetor looks like it would be right at
home on a Model A Ford. I just paid 16500 for a Jabiru 3300 which is not
cheap compared to a little over 6 K for a VW but what a difference in machining
and up to date technology. I think that Jabiru is a breath of fresh air
and a lot cheaper than Rotax and Continental. They have had some issues but
seem to be trying to get through the growing pains of new development and I
hear the factory is good about service issues but I wish they were a little
closer.. I still have not been able to find out what a KR2 cruises at with
a Jab 3300 under the hood. All The Best . Jim Wright ,
