fly_tornado Posted January 5, 2014 Author Posted January 5, 2014 Is this the first Jab engine failure this year?
keith.b Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 Good reporting, story well researched, and informative..
daza Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 So where do you get plans to build these? ... powered by an amateur-built Jabiru 3300 experimental class engine Gotta love the media... 1 1
Camel Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 So where do you get plans to build these?http://www.txsport.aero. I had a look already and was impressed, can beat a cub for STOL Performance.
SDQDI Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 So where do you get plans to build these? Gotta love the media... Yep the media is always right :-) maybe that's why jab engines fail because they are built by amateurs not by professionals like jabiru would have us believe (all said in good fun no disrespect of jabs meant)
motzartmerv Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 powered by an amateur-built Jabiru 3300 . Pretty accurate statement. 2 2
ozbear Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 It could have been amateur flown and maintained .
Guest Nobody Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 Reasonably well written article but I think that the experimental amateur built bit applies to the whole aircraft not the engine but the way the faa database reports it could cause confusion... http://registry.faa.gov/aircraftinquiry/NNum_Results.aspx?NNumbertxt=114DE
