How about the 3100 Corvairs in the USA flying hundreds of hours using a heavier engine of equal horsepower? Or the several KR's flying with Lycombing 0-235's or 0-290's ? Or the heavier Continental 0-200 turning 3000+ rpm pumping out probably 120+ hp? More important than the HP the Jabiru is putting out would be getting the CG of the airplane correct with the lighter weight engine. Have your "chief engineer" do a little research at www.krnet.org or http://www.n56ml.com/strent.html or http://www.krnet.org/krs/kr100/ or http://www.mtnguy.com/n966g/ Larry Flesner
