Hi I own a jabiru engine and aircraft and if you follow the workshop manual and do all the AD's you won't have trouble. Having said that there is a new 4Cyl & 6Cyl motor on the market by jabiru that is out performing a lot of other engines out there in performance and power to weight and the price is good Martin

We can learn from Colin Hale's experience when it comes to this engine. He himself said in one of his postings that the engine isn't very good. He knew the engine and its weaknesses and knew how to fix and deal with the Jabiru so he stuck with it - until it finally let him down in Japan. That off-field landing would have worked out fine I think had it not been a stepped-level golf driving range. A friend here at Chapter 14 had a Wittman Tailwind with the 3300 version of that engine. He couldn't keep valve seats in it and finally sold the plane and engine in disgust. He learned to hate it. Caused an off-airport forced landing (successful) and other troubles. The Tailwind of course is a fine plane. Colin sure did some great KR flying. His excursion into Russia was epic.
