    Firewall Forward Costs

    in AUS/NZ General Discussion

    Posted

    I have read several threads on the reliability of several types of motor... I thought this question may be of interest.

     

    What are the firewall forward costs/availability of the different Ra-Aus suitable powerplants... Just ball park figure and starting with the cheapest...?

     

    I have no idea... anyone with real world figures... ?

     

     

    Jabiru Engine 2200 Mechanical Problem Reporting

    I agree... and the fact that they seem to be responding to warranty claims is a good thing...

     

    My perception of the Jabiru, indeed any LSA style aircraft, is that they are delicate machines...

     

    As for the Jabiru motor... well it may not be the most reliable engine in Ra-Aus use... but it seems that it is in second place behind the Rotax912... that is still quite an achievement.

    I would rather not have to claim on the warranty of any piece of equipment that I purchase... So I agree with the sentiment. I would rather have a board member who is prepared to ask these questions... It is not just on this forum that the Jabiru has a certain "reputation"... if any board member was unaware or afraid to comment I would be worried.

     

     

    Coming to Australia

    in Trips/Events/Seats

    Australia is a BIG country... you won't be able to see everything. I guess Google is your best friend... You could spend 2 weeks quite easily in South East Queensland. Plan say 3-4 days to go for a good fly somewhere...Best bet is to plan on hiring a car for at least part of the time...preferably with a GPS. If you want to just chilax on a beach... take your pick and enjoy. There is certainly no lack of beautiful beaches, every one more beautiful than the last.
