This is the latest version of the Jabiru with the higher horsepower and the valves that don't require the 50 hour adjustment the older engines needed. He has everything but the motor mount (his mount won't fit a kitfox), oil cooler, prop, etc. I didn't think to ask him what he wants for it, but I'm sure it will be a good deal as he is not one to sit on things long. So I expect it could be a good deal for someone looking to power their airplane with a Jabiru. And the big benefit, you can have it NOW! No waiting, and....you get all the incidental pieces that usually cause delays in installs. Incidentally, this engine is maybe 6 months old (if that), and has never been started. So it truly is brand new, and I would think it would still be under warranty. But for the accurate details, contact Jack Bresina at www.cornellaeroworks.com , or call him. His cell # is 715-828-8478 , shop# is 715-239-3716, and home # is 715-532-6299. He is located in western Wisconsin near Chippewa Falls / Eau Claire area at the Cornell airport.

Bought a new one at CPS I think. I remember that little tank was quite pricey. Seems like it was around $50 or more?????

To make a long story short- the tire is on, but they broke off one of the horns for securing the brake caliper. A bit of browsing on the net yields no joy- and I'm not the original builder. So.. here's what I know. It's an 8" rim that has 6 bolts to secure the wheel to the hub. It appears as though it started life as a split-wheel rim, but has been welded togther (bead around the inside). There are three horns for securing the caliper to the wheel- and the caliper mounts with recessed allen screws. The original parts list for the airplane calls off " part no. LW-27R: wheels; main gear, aluminum, 8" dia., 6" wide". I *hope* that these are the original wheels- and there's still one around? There's also a small sticker on the inside of each- 3/4" high, 1" wide, blue background, white circle in the middle, one corner rounded, with, *maybe*, Douglas *something* in faded red. Landing Gear kit Parts list is dated 14 sept 1988. I'm grounded without a replacement wheel- any leads or suggestions? Thanks, -Jack ________________________________ Message 6 _____________________________________ Time: 05:09:00 PM PST US From: "Lowell Fitt" Subject: Re: Kitfox-List: Need a source for a kitfox 1 wheel --> Kitfox-List message posted by: "Lowell Fitt" Hi, Jack. Is there any chance that a welder could put on a new or the old lug if you still have it. I am interested in what you find as I use them also and wish I had a spare.
