It is a great running engine and soooo smoooth. Hope that answers you question.

However, I've seen someone offering a brand new 5100 for sale just a few months ago. You may want to try contacting him to see if it's still available...

I thought the test-bed for the 5100 was an RV-6 but I can't find the reference. -- Craig ________________________________ Message 7 _____________________________________ Time: 02:13:30 PM PST US From: "Grant Piper" Subject: Re: JabiruEngine-List: 8cyl 5100 Yes to all, the factory had an RV-6 they installed the prototype on, with a view to developing a FF kit. Since then our dollar has appreciated from US47c to US83c, and the Lyclones have boomed, spoiling the marketing advantage. I flew the 5100/RV-6, it was very smooth and compared well to my 180/RV-4 in power. I think it is an ideal RV engine if you don't want a CS and inverted capability. The factory is expanding now, but all booked up for the forseeable future with the smaller engines.

Production was discontinued it is said for capacity reasons but it has not had a lot of in field development.
