have seen a few sales come up for jab taildraggers and am wondering if any1 has had anything to do with them,or if any owners could put their thoughts and comments on the forum.i am learning nosewheel but will eventually go for the tail wheel endorsement as it will open up other aircraft types.

-

-
a proper noun sorry i first read it as a proper "nun" i must slow down my reading
-
to be able to be involved in the search for that aircraft would be something special.as a student pilot knowing that if the worst should 1 day happen and that like minded people would continue to look for you regardless of the outcome so as to give closure to family and friends i think is something that makes aviators keep doing what they do.most of us fly for the pleasure of it but lots fly because its a job whether air ambulance or commercial or whatever and its good to think that people wont give up on finding u.
-
the airframes do seem to b popular and homegrown as well .there seems to b alot of people who like the 160 as a good compromise between them all
-
that is true about the collision side of things for sure.i havent heard of any jab 160s falling apart but am interested in looking up bad incidents of the brs ,knowledge is good to have,and of course engine out on any aircraft doesnt mean an immediate pull the cord response.
-
have u heard any other news regarding brs systems for the jabs oscar.a fellow i speak to from sth australia on facebook has a 160 is upgrading or changing over from another type,and has had no problems with his motors and is very happy with the aircraft.my interest in the brs is purely from structural failure ,collision etc side of things
-
hey jaba i spoke with bryan from brs hear in australia via email not long ago with that question .he told me he had spoken to jabiru and at this point in time they werent prepared or able to devote what was needed to install a brs .however things may have changed so send him an email directly and c what the latest is.

-
nope u got it all wrong the soldiers shoot each other the pilot slips the pistol from the officers holster WHILE twisting his arm up behind his back then using him as a shield withdraws back into the aircraft .then after making a lightning excape from the aerodrome in his aircraft lands said aircraft safely at another location dropping off the officer safe and sound.After returning the officers pistol ,unloaded of course, to the officer so as he does not lose face our intrepid pilot once again takes to the skies with the sound of the james bond theme song blaring from speakers in the plane ?????????????????????
-
so has any body have any opinions on the foxcon terrier 100 or 200 .and can the owners of these aircraft post what they like/dislike about this aircraft

hey john ,i have been reading about the subaru motors as i actually have had a subaru car b4 and worked on others .my question is ,is it just a matter of buying a subaru motor and then doing the mods yourself where you can or is it more involved than that.as i have read there seems to be different vehicles for ignitions etc to source bits of pieces from which would reduce the overall costs i would imagine.i read with interest the motors were actually designed for a/c from the start .let me know as i havent decided on anything my friend david(magishme) and i am very keen on looking at the r80 and initialy we were considering the ul motor as another friend of ours is putting 1 in his bushcaddy r80.thanks for the info so far .jeff
-
