Thanks Pat for the insights about the Jabiru engine. I looked through the
various posts regarding the reliability issue of the engine, I would
probably pass up on my thinking about the Jabiru engine.... Two cases of
lossing props in flight, it is a bit too much to trust on the engine
performances. Not sure if the issues are only on the J3300 model or it's a
systemic problem? The engine I was thinking about is the J3100 model
though...
