Plane ,Planes ,planes ?????? Gooday Lexman, Mick here I trained in RAA in a Jabiru and and loved it. :thumb_up: Looked at a number of Kits & planes. Visited different fatorys joined the local aero club and flew a as many types of planes as i could, both high wing and low wings they both have good vision. I also looked at "avalibility of parts" after service and that put some of the imported ones out " beware" Make shore the plane has been load tested. Who designed the plane? What tooling and jigs i need to build the plane. I rung different flying schools to find out what planes they used and what problems they had. My advice is buy a Australian made.:thumb_up: Go and test fly then all. Metal or composite if it is left out in the weather i would buy metal. Are you flying out of paddocks or short fields take off distance? Are you going to travel long distance or just fly local? Are you going to hire the plane? how much is insurance? How much can you afford? Check out exactly what comes in the kit and what extras you need to buy, there will be extras. Have a legal contract set up for the perchise with late penaltise apply if it is not completed on time. Don"t pay the final paymont untill you have all the complete kit. Heaps to think about before you buy a plane. Don't believe everything people say just because they don't like or had a bad experance, that dosn't mean its no good Do your homework. Hope this helps Mick

looking at the XXXXX injection system has any one got it fitted to a 3300 jabiru engine and how did it improve the performance???

Gooday all been running a jab 3300 for 3.5years and done 750 hours, the lean burn economy kit that was supplied and fitted just after motor was run in. Just pulled down top end due to compression leaking betwean head & barrels on all 6 cylinders and o'rings leaking at the barrels. leakdown test showed the ring wear but valves ok. Just sent the heads barrels and pistons away from inspection. The motor was running well but down in power. We run 2 oil coolers one through a duct & one at the front of the engine cowl which gives us continous oil temp of 80 deg and max of 100deg on long climb. oil ppessure @ 220kpi. CHT temp on cruse @ 280 deg F and on climb max 320deg F, I have done 500 hours + in Jabs and rearly had such constant temptures on climb. Verry happy with the Brumbys temptures have done there homework. Hope this is intresting to you all Yours in flying Mick :thumb_up: __________________
