Peter,
Others have replied with factual information but I thought I'd add that I
have been using an Airmaster AP332 electric constant speed propeller on our
Jabiru J400 demonstrator (3300 powered) for some 180 hours, or so. I'm very
pleased with the performance which improves about 10% in take-off roll and
initial climb (3100 rpm), and about 0.5 gallons per hour in cruise (2600
rpm). We had to work a little harder to maintain acceptable ground cooling
in high summer in Florida, due to the prop's use of the Warp Drive blades
and the comparative lack of blade pitch adjacent to the ram-air cooling
inlets. Bigger inlets and attention to balancing Cylinder Head temps (CHTs)
and 'tweaking' to improve the duct-to-engine seal all improved matters. In
all, it's not a cheap propeller option at around $6,000 but if you need the
improved takeoff and cruise performance then go for it. I tell my customers
that it's a 'nice thing to have' rather than a necessity. The 3300's power
and torque curves are flatter than (say) the Rotax 912, so for the Jabiru,
it's hard to beat a fixed or ground adjustable prop for the money. The new
Sensenich carbon-bladed ground adjustable prop looks like being a very good
performer.

I am interested to find out how people are getting on with the Jabiru 3300.
The good points and the bad points and is anyone having any problems.
Is anyone using a constant speed propeller?
There are no comments coming through this forum so I wonder who reads it.

All,
Just to let listers here know that Suncoast Sportplanes, Inc. has moved some
200 miles north to Zephyrhills, still in Florida, USA. The reasons for the
move were primarily expansion but also to put the dealership closer to our
customers and key supplier community. Business as usual, but will need a few
days to get stuff unpacked and reorganized...
Thanks

Dear Lister,
Please read over the JabiruEngine-List Usage Guidelines below. The complete
JabiruEngine-List FAQ including these Usage Guidelines can be found at the
following URL:

Thank you,

******************************************************************************
JabiruEngine-List Usage Guidelines
******************************************************************************
The following details the official Usage Guidelines for the JabiruEngine-List.
You are encouraged to read it carefully, and to abide by the rules therein.
Failure to use the JabiruEngine-List in the manner described below may result
in the removal of the subscribers from the List.
JabiruEngine-List Policy Statement
The purpose of the JabiruEngine-List is to provide a forum of discussion for
things related to this particular discussion group. The List's goals
are to serve as an information resource to its members; to deliver
high-quality content; to provide moral support; to foster camaraderie
among its members; and to support safe operation. Reaching these goals
requires the participation and cooperation of each and every member of
the List. To this end, the following guidelines have been established:
- Please keep all posts related to the List at some level. Do not submit
posts concerning computer viruses, urban legends, random humor, long
lost buddies' phone numbers, etc. etc.
- THINK carefully before you write. Ask yourself if your post will be
relevant to everyone. If you have to wonder about that, DON'T send it.
- Remember that your post will be included for posterity in an archive
that is growing in size at an extraordinary rate. Try to be concise and
terse in your posts. Avoid overly wordy and lengthy posts and
responses.
- Keep your signature brief. Please include your name, email address,
aircraft type/tail number, and geographic location. A short line
about where you are in the building process is also nice. Avoid
bulky signatures with character graphics; they consume unnecessary
space in the archive.
- DON'T post requests to the List for information when that info is
easily obtainable from other widely available sources. Consult the
web page or FAQ first.
- If you want to respond to a post, DO keep the "Subject:" line of
your response the same as that of the original post. This makes it
easy to find threads in the archive.
- When responding, NEVER quote the *entire* original post in your
response. DO use lines from the original post to help "tune in" the
reader to the topic at hand, but be selective. The impact that
quoting the entire original post has on the size of the archive
can not be overstated!
- When the poster asks you to respond to him/her personally, DO NOT
then go ahead and reply to the List. Be aware that clicking the
"reply" button on your mail package does not necessarily send your
response to the original poster. You might have to actively address
your response with the original poster's email address.
- DO NOT use the List to respond to a post unless you have something
to add that is relevant and has a broad appeal. "Way to go!", "I
agree", and "Congratulations" are all responses that are better sent
to the original poster directly, rather than to the List at large.
- When responding to others' posts, avoid the feeling that you need to
comment on every last point in their posts, unless you can truly
contribute something valuable.
- Feel free to disagree with other viewpoints, BUT keep your tone
polite and respectful. Don't make snide comments, personally attack
other listers, or take the moral high ground on an obviously
controversial issue. This will only cause a pointless debate that
will hurt feelings, waste bandwidth and resolve nothing.
