I dont understand the "excess" power thing, but down under ( New Zealand), the Jabarus are treated as a bad joke, beautiful , light, have the grunt sure. But how many issues do they have? valve & head failures, (known to have dropped valves through pistons) causing engine outs, probably the wost are the poor flywheel dowling design which has caused countless flywheels to part company with the crank (great for ignition timing!) These engines have had hundreds of mods from original & have they got it right yet? Vaughan Thomas Hamilton NewZealand

I am in the process of purchasing a Jabiru 3300 for my KR2s We feel we need the extra grunt of 120hp to get out of some of the tiny farm strips we have in the UK. Is there anyone flying a KR with one out there? -- I am using the free version of SPAMfighter. We are a community of 7 million users fighting spam.
