gareth lacey Posted March 20, 2012 Author Posted March 20, 2012 Hi John the Jab 3300 ,when we did the test flight the power on takeoff was great and downwind we were at 150Knots ! a no brainer really thanks and Cheers gareth
Virago Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 Sounds good Gareth! I'll be putting in a 2200 Jab ... bit cheaper to buy, maintain and operate. I can see that the extra power could come in handy though. John.
gareth lacey Posted March 20, 2012 Author Posted March 20, 2012 Hi John we also have to consider that craig and i are 220 kilo,s up front plus baggage and camping stuff the extra oomph will com in handy on climb out and cruise Cheers Gareth
