Jabiru engines seem to have a pretty mixed reputation in Aus. During a
factory tour at Brumby Aircraft (Australian designed and built certified
LSA) last year I spoke with the senior engineer about their experience. He
told me they had delivered 10 aircraft with Jabiru 3300's and 3 had major
fail
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 wos
that seems on the face of it ridiculous
powerfull and what would that cause .
what effects does he think will happen

Hi
I have just had an email from the cheif engineer of the LAA and he has
refused to let us use a Jabiru 3300 in a KR2S because he says it is too
powerful!
Has anyone got any stress data that I can hit him back with?
