Subject: Kit No 36 is finally finished.
We have finally finished this lightning kit after two and a half years
of work.There was a lot of frustation but also a lot of pleasure and the
end result was very pleasing. The kit belongs to my brother John who did
not have the confidence to build so I did the technical side of the work
and my brother the the paint work and trimming. The reason for the
extended build time was my limited time at my brothers place as he lives
over 3 hours drive from my place and we did all the work ourselves no
outside help.. I have built 2 Jabiru kits before which are still in our
family and used frequently.
I fitted a voyager EFIS into the panel the engine is fitted with
electronic fuel injection using a Haltech ECU with Jenvey throttle body
2 RX7 injectors. This is the same set up I fitted to my Jabiru when I
built it and has run over 350hours without trouble.
We are currently doing high speed taxi tests to get used to the toe
brakes. Then into the test flying.
I have attached a number of pictures.

Beautiful job Helmut. I am sure you will enjoy the flying as much as the
building.

Congratulations to you and your brother Helmut. Looks like you did a reall
y good job. I'd be really interested in hearing more about your fuel injec
ted setup. 350 hours without trouble is a pretty good data point. Perhaps
you have pictures and could share the story with Buz to put in a future ar
ticle? Do you notice anything in particular about the engine after fuel in
jecting? Does it seem to run smoother=2C have more power=2C etc? Thanks
