| Subject: | Jabiru cooling questions |
-I went with the original round cowl on my Kitfox when I installed the 22
00.- I previously had a Rotax 582 installed.- It took alot of work to m
ake the round cowl work.- The forward cowl has two parts , an upper and l
ower section.- I had to split both sections in half to widen the cowling.
- I also had to lengthen this front cowling by about six inches.- After
many hours of work I think the product came out pretty good.-
-
After everything was completed I think I may have been able to add a few bu
mps to the cowling and not had to widen it.- I may have been able to leng
then the back cowling the six inches and not had to do anything to the fron
t cowling.- I also went with Pete's instructions on the inlet and outlet
demensions and things worked out real well although the engine gets fairly
warm on hot, humid days of summer.

I'm swapping out my 20 year old 582 gray head for a Bluehead. It'll be here next
week and I'm trying to get things ready for quick installation so I can take
advantage of what flying weather we have left before winter here in South Dakota.
Since the gray head didn't have a coolant re-circulate circuit like the Blue, the
plumbing will be different. I'm not sure how to go with it though. Is a hose
from the recirculating fitting on the top of the head on the carb side, to
the input on the exhaust side (bottom of engine) good enough? Anyone got some
pics of their installation?
Thanks,

A Kitfox 4 that I saw with the round cowling and a Jabiru 2200 engine;
the builder had closed off much of the front cooling air intake with
clear Plexiglas. The open areas were where the Jabiru cooling ducts
were located. You definitely need the Jabiru cooling ducts for uniform
cylinder cooling.

I flew one a few years ago...... a KF 4 with a 2200, he spent a lot of
time trying to sort out the cooling... I flew it it still ran too hot.....
I do remember he had closed off the front too. Heat kills engines. I
have instructed a few hundred hours on behind the 3300 and beautiful as
that engine looks, and as smooth and powerful as it is, we had lots of
problems in the training environment. We had 3 planes with 3300 and probably
accumulated 1,500 hours on them. Once we went to 912, our problems went
away.... Maybe as a hobby engine it will be great. Schools are tough on
equipment. 912 seems to take it in stride we now have 4 planes with them and
have about 2,000 hours running them.
