Hi Ray, my understanding is that there are many Allegros in europe flying
with the Jabiru engine as power.

I actually have the 912S in my Allegro. From what I have heard, the Jab is
harder to get serviced, so therefore the Rotax is the better alternative.
This could just be an opinion, but it might warrant looking into.

I beleive the manufacturer did fit the Jab engine to aircraft used in
Europe, but cooling seems to be a problem for hotter regions. I think
the cowl would have to be redesigned to cater for an air cooled engine.
Here is the answer I got from Fantasy air some time ago...

Hello Dave,
We do fit the Jabiru engine to Scandinavian countries. It has very
bad reputation in hot countries, because of overheating problems etc.
We had to make some adjustments in engine installation to avoid the
overheating problems and it was fine, but still not in countries with
hot weather. Rotax engines are MUCH more reliable.
There is no price difference currently between Allegro with Rotax or
Jabiru.
So, we are sorry but we do not want to sell Allegros to South Africa
with Jabiru engine.
Kind regards,
Marcela and Josef
