List,
Occasionally there arises the need for a certain output to run the electrical systems
you builders are planning. This update was posted on the jabiruengines
list by Andy Silvester, the southern US Jab distributor. When Andy or Pete Krotje
post something it pays to be attentive, they know their products. For you
801 builders that want the Jab 5100 but think you might need a few more amps,
this is a good lead. For 3300 owners, the hint that we might be able to retrofit
is also good news. FWIW, I still have the original three-phase 15 amp
alternator and with my limited panel it's fine.

+++ Some Jabiru 8 - cylinder engine customers are (too) needing
more power than the standard alternator output. In response, Jabiru are
developing a dual / tandem alternator setup for the 8 - cylinder, which
effectively puts an additional 20 amp alternator behind the standard
one. The setup will use an additional rectifier / regulator, which means
a completely autonomous dual alternator setup. Our hope is that this
will be offered for retro-fitting on the 3300 engine as well. No firm
dates yet, but the design is fairly simple and so we should see it
offered within the next few months.

Also, the "down under" folks have been getting a Jabiru newsletter called Jaba Chat. It's full of useful hints for Jab engine and a/c owners and is (or was) the only source for factory info that I knew of. Jaba Chat is now posted on the AU factory website http://www.jabiru.net.au/ click on Jaba Chat.
