Kind of library quiet around here.... :D

Charlie,
We started the list as a USA Jabiru aircraft kits distributor, and with
some
20 aircraft built under our supervision we are happy to provide both
advice
and comments about Jabiru aircraft where possible. It's true there
hasn't
been much activity but let's hope more Jabiru owners / builder join and
get
involved!
For those seeking information about Jabiru engines for operation in
non-Jabiru aircraft, please visit the Matronics Jabiru Engine List at
http://forums.matronics.com/viewforum.php?f=29

We'll do our best on both lists to help where needed.

There appears to be very little traffic on this list.
Have you cleaned your carburator lately???

- 100LL
- new plugs
- new air cleaner
- new fuel filter
- carb heat on
- electric boost pump on
- recent oil change
- recent valve clearance check
- stumble during climb at ~2000'
- clean carburator
- noticable improvement in performance, during ~5 hours of flight
- smoother at idle
- smoother at cruise
- hopefully no more stumbles - time will tell
