Graham I had two. It will use a bit of oil: about 100cc every 3 hours. It is reliable, BUT compression is higher with these pistons and thus u can only use 95 oct whereas the 912 will be happy with 93 octane. This IS important as 95 is not as freesly available. I doubt if the extra 15 horses is wort...

Also phone Willie van Wyk at 072 31777 68
He is well known Jabiru Technician here in Gauteng. He does maintenance
on Jabiru at many flight schools and private owners. I found hom very helpful.

WHY I PREFER MICROLIGHTS

Nou kom julle reg! It's about time someone started thinking. Rotax is just NOT worth it anymore with the R/E exchange. I've owned Rotax 912, 912S, 912Xtra and 582 as well as VW, Jab and Continental engines and I am convinced that Rotax does not rule anymore. For any Major Rotax repairs, one has to t...

Hi Nico!

Thanks. I found someone for the job.

Kind regards!

Thanks Rudi!

That's good news! Have u heard about the adding of a spot of 2- stroke oil to Unleaded 95?
Some believe that this is a good way to ensure upper cylinder lubrication when using Unleaded.

Regards!

UK Website states Unleaded 95 OK, but wondering about SA Unleaded....

Heard some Bantam owners flying unleaded 95........

Hi Guys!

Can the Jabiru engine flyers please advise:

Some say Avgas only.
Some say Unleaded 95

What do you use?

Thank you

Just as a matter of interest: Cubby owners with VW engines:

*Do you fly with unleaded or Avgas?

* You opinion on the VW engine with reduction drive: Is the VW engine up to such high revs?

Will appreciate any comments.

Hi Gunther! I sold my Raven (ZU-BUU) to Fred Blokland at Springs. His number is 083 256 1873 if you would like his opinion. He sold it recently after using it for training more than 600 trouble free hours. Depending on the prop: At about 2800rpm she was cruising indicated 90mph with the VW engine. S...

Boet, Baie interessant! Dit lyk soos 'n tipe R BMW enjin.
Gaan dit nie ook baie kos nie; aangesien dit van Duitsland
ingevoer moet word?

Groete!

See, I knew there were intelligent people out there. Thank you Morph, Tailspin & Mogas! An interesting option: What about the Nissan 1400 engine? What says the informed about this? Here is a guy on the East Rand with a Nissan 1400 (stock standard) powered gyro. He swears by it for reliability. Surel...

Can someone advise........... Rotax 4 stroke is designed around motorcycle engine technology. Has anyone ever tried to fly with a superbike engine? (Not the old boxer BMW engines) Firstly: they are highly reliable. Many superbikes are still around from the 80's and most of them have been ridden hard...

Had 2 Zodiacs. One with a Great Plains 2.2 direct drive and the other with 2.4 Eric Addison VW engine. I still think it is one of the most underrated aircraft around. For one: It will fly in weather when other aircraft are grounded. It is an easy and safe aircraft. 44" cockpit. And perhaps the most ...

Hi all!

Can anyone suggest someone who will erect a hangar at Heidelberg, East Rand?

Thank u!
