Pete at Jabiru USA generally posts an announcement on the Jabiru engines
list on Yahoo. You can also look at their web site: www.usjabiru.com. I
don't know if Pete is on this list.

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 have
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
engine 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
aspect of this fine little engine. Every individual engine part was
described in detail and was passed around to each attendee for close
inspection. Each system (lubrication, ignition, induction, exhaust, etc) was
also described in great detail, including the Bing 94 carby. Each member of
the class completely disassembled and rebuilt a Bing carb. Operation of the
carb and aspects of how to properly tune it for a particular airframe was
also discussed at length. Perhaps the most enlightening portion was a
discussion of the cause of failures that have occurred using the actual
failed parts that have come back to Jabiru USA (primarily from owner abuse)
to describe and vividly illustrate what to do, and more importantly, what
not 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 issues
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 Lightning LSA
manufacturing areas where numerous aircraft were in various stages of build.
Lunch was provided both Friday and Saturday and a Saturday night 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
like me, I would highly recommend going through this course. Regardless of
your level of expertise, everyone will learn something from this course. My
confidence level with this engine has gone up exponentially and I met some
mighty fine people in the process. The course is well worth the price and
you won't regret taking the time to attend.
Many thanks to Pete, Nick, Mark and Dana for putting on a fine event!
Regards,
John Lawton
