hey jabsp6 is that a taildragger the sp6 just curious as how they go for something different may hav to post this in the general jab area though

Hi jeffd

My SP6 is not a taildragger. Just the standard 3 wheel Jabiru Undercarridge. Not a lot of room in the SP with the 85ltr fuel tank behind the seat and MTOW of 500kgs but perfect for the task of going to work and back each week.

 

Slightly quicker than the bigger J230 and better on fuel do to having a smaller airframe and the shorter wings but the same 6 cyl motor.

 

Overall i am very happy with the SP.

 

Safe Flying
