I am new to this.-How do I find out when these classes are? When ordering
a part from Jabiru I up dated the new ownership of the engine. I would hav
e thought that would have put me on a list.
Thanks

Greetings All,
-
I wanted to take a moment to echo previous comments about Jabiru USA's engi
ne seminar.
-
I attended the engine seminar last weekend and I must say I was thoroughly
impressed! Pete, Nick and Mark did an excellent job of presenting every asp
ect of this fine little engine. Every individual-engine-part was descri
bed in detail and was passed around to each attendee for close-inspection
. Each system (lubrication, ignition, induction, exhaust, etc) was also des
cribed in great-detail, including the Bing 94 carby. Each member of the c
lass completely-disassembled and rebuilt a Bing carb. Operation of the ca
rb-and-aspects of how to properly tune-it for a particular airframe w
as also discussed at length. Perhaps the most enlightening portion was a di
scussion of the cause of failures that have occurred using the actual faile
d parts that have come back to Jabiru USA-(primarily from owner abuse) to
describe and vividly illustrate what to do, and more importantly, what-n
ot to do.

Each attendee participated in valve removal and installation, and piston,
-cylinder and head removal and installation. Engine reassembly, including
engine-timing, was thoroughly covered, along with regular maintenance is
sues and procedures, and-installation hints and tips. The atmosphere was
informal. Questions were welcomed and answered in depth.-The hospitality
of the Jabiru USA-crew simply-could not have been better. On the final
day after class ended we were invited to-tour the Jabiru USA-and Lightn
ing LSA-manufacturing areas where numerous aircraft were in various stage
s of build.-Lunch was provided both Friday and Saturday and a Saturday ni
ght dinner event at a local eatery was arranged for all attendees.

Whether you are new to the engine, or have a few years experience with it l
ike me, I would highly recommend going through this course. Regardless of y
our level of expertise, everyone will learn something-from this course.
-My confidence level with this engine-has gone up exponentially and I m
et some mighty-fine people in the process. The course is well worth the p
rice and you won't regret-taking the time to attend.
-
Many thanks to Pete, Nick, Mark and Dana for putting on a-fine event!
