SDQDI Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 So where do you get plans to build these? Gotta love the media... Yep the media is always right :-) maybe that's why jab engines fail because they are built by amateurs not by professionals like jabiru would have us believe (all said in good fun no disrespect of jabs meant) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozbear Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 It could have been amateur flown and maintained . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nobody Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Reasonably well written article but I think that the experimental amateur built bit applies to the whole aircraft not the engine but the way the faa database reports it could cause confusion... http://registry.faa.gov/aircraftinquiry/NNum_Results.aspx?NNumbertxt=114DE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
