Is this the first Jab engine failure this year?

Good reporting, story well researched, and informative..

 

 

[DrZoos]

Good that there was no injuries.

 

 

[daza]

So where do you get plans to build these?

 

... powered by an amateur-built Jabiru 3300 experimental class engine

 

Gotta love the media...

I had a look already and was impressed, can beat a cub for STOL Performance.

Yep the media is always right :-) maybe that's why jab engines fail because they are built by amateurs not by professionals like jabiru would have us believe (all said in good fun no disrespect of jabs meant)

powered by an amateur-built Jabiru 3300 . Pretty accurate statement.

It could have been amateur flown and maintained .

Reasonably well written article but I think that the experimental amateur built bit applies to the whole aircraft not the engine but the way the faa database reports it could cause confusion...
