I am trying to decide which engine I should use in my 701. I have narrowed
it down to one of 3 engines the Jabiru 2200 Jabiru 3300 or the Rotax 912 uls
100 HP. I have talked to Roger at Zenith he recommends the Rotax. I have not
spoken with any of the Jabiru 701 builders. I would like to here your
comments if you have installed either of the engines in your 701. Mike

Mike,
I have the 912ULS and really like its performance. Plus, you can add
floats in the future.
I have a lot of short grass strips here in NC that benefit from the
extra zip of 100hp. I also have no cooling problems.

Mike:
Your three choices are all good ones. I would agree with Roger if he
were the one supporting the Rotax but I have read of too many
maintenance problems and the lack of support from the factory that I
would advise caution in that selection. The price of the Rotax is
also, or was, significantly higher than the Jabiru choices. I chose
the 3300 only because I will be operating out of an 8,000 foot grass
strip and want to get at least 85 hp at that altitude. If you will be
operating mainly from fields below 5,000 msl the 85 hp from the 2200
should be sufficient for most normal operations.

What with changing plans and instrument panel design I have a fair amount of
surplus gear for sale. My current EFIS (MGL) and radio (XCOM) incorporate
many of the functions of these separate pieces (AOA, AP, transponder
encoder, intercom). I'll be listing these items on Barnstormers in a few
days but figured I'd post the list here. Each of these items is unused,
uninstalled and typically in the manufacture's original box with the
original manual. I don't know about all of their warrantees but Trio has
confirmed that the warrantees on their autopilots start at first use, not
time of purchase.
Some of this gear was purchased as far back as 2005 but for the most part
the design hasn't changed. I and the parts are located in Utah. Prices
include shipping via UPS Ground within the US. Photos and more information
available on request. Contact me DIRECTLY at craig@craigandjean.com. Don't
just reply to this message and clutter up the list.
