Greetings,
I'm a newbie to this forum, but a regular on the Europa forum since that's
what I'm building. The time has come to seek out an engine for my bird. The
Europa is primarily built around the Rotax 912/914, but if you've priced one
lately you'll understand why I'm looking in other directions. A number of
other powerplants are being used in Europa's, but I'm mainly interested in
the Jabiru 3300. I saw this engine at Sun-n-Fun last week and I must say it
is an impressive piece of work.
However, looks can be deceiving. I'm wondering if anyone here has working
experience with the Jabiru 3300?
Comments?
Regards,
John Lawton

John:
The short answer is that I don't. But when I was investigating the Jabiru 6000
(the eight-cylinder) I talked to many owners of the 2200 and 3300, to get their
impression of the engines. The unanimous opinion was that they were great
engines. In fact, not one person said even one negative thing about the
engines, and several admitted that they couldn't think of anything negative to
say if they tried.
There were a couple of not-fully-positive comments about the U.S. dealer, but
nothing shocking.

Dear Tedd and others,
The only bad thing I have heard about Jabiru is that they take an extreme
amount of cranking speed to get running. You will NEVER be able to hand prop
this engine, it must be spun with a starter and spun fast. If the battery
gets low it will not start. It could use a little bit stronger ignition
system.
Oh, yeah, the exhaust system that comes with it is junk,I have heard. Many
leaks everywhere. This is from a friend who had a 2200 on a Kitfox IV.
