Charles, We saw several Jabiru's about at various airports in Australia back in 2009. Talked to a few owners and they were happy with them. This one was headed X-country to IIRC.... a Jabiru fly-in.

I agree the Tecnam is the plane to get. There was a rash of "events" a few years ago. Quite a few of those were Jabiru engines installed in experimental planes. The Jabiru folks all assured me it was because the air flow cooling was insufficient in those planes. Although the facts were hotly debated. In Australia, Jabiru aircraft and engines had some restrictions for a time due to mechanical difficulties resulting in less than acceptable reliability. I haven't kept up with developments but I would hope those issues would be under control now. And by the way, I love my Tecnam.

They have a reputation for running hot, and they seem to like to blame the Homebuilder of the airframe. Yet somehow when the engine is replaced with an aerovie or revmaster, they do just fine in the same airframe / builder
