| Subject: | Jabiru cooling questions |
Hi y'all,
I'm kinda new to this forum. I'm building a IV speedster at the moment, want to
place a Jabiru 2200 engine. Since the installation manual sais there should be
3x more air coming out of the cowl then getting in, AND I definitely want to
use the (very beautiful) Kitfox front cowling, I am wrestling with some ideas:
- Would you think it might be possible to make a kind of movable cowling-underside
to get more air out (like for instance Diamond airplanes have)?
- Would you think I just could 'close' a bit of the enormous air-intake that the
Kitfox cowling provides?
- Should I use the Jabiru cowlings to steer the air, or just let it play along
the cylinders?
Any ideas or answers would be appreciated a lot!

When I got my Kitfox IV, there was no cowl, and because I was
following Dave Jalanti's lead on installing a Jabiru 2200, I elected
to go with the "very beautiful" Skyfox cowl, and did not have to deal
with any of the cooling issues that you mention...it just sort of
came out right. Granted, it's not the round cowl (that I originally
wanted), but it's a *working* cowl, and in the end that's what
matters. Also, I used the Jabiru-supplied air ducts. These are almost
a must, in my book.

If you do not want to run a pressure regulator then run your electric pumps in
parallel and just use it during T/O, LANDING, and OVER HAZARD AREAs. THOUGHTS
?????

Do check it during preflight runup. Have a fuel pressure guage?

If you decide to go with the Jabiru cowl=2C you might want to get it throug
h Avid/Airdale. I believe they are that same. I paid $450 pluss about $50
for shipping for mine. Take care=2C Jim Chuk Avids=2C Kitfox 4 (buildin
