Skee Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Well I have a D motor, the support he gives by phone and email is instant, any spares needed is sent with the quickly. Service bulletins, well there is no real system to that yet, but all changes such as an updated more powerful alternator was sent out with tools and easily changed. The instructions leaves allot to wish for, most of what exist now are from customers and resellers. He sent a free engine to a school in England in premise that they would make a pro manual for him, still have not seen it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff13 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Yes the bigger engine. 6 Cyl watercooled 120hp. And it bolts straight onto a Jabiru Mount. Oh and did I mention dual ECU's and fuel injection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacesailor Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 They should shout one for Jabiru, "He sent a free engine to a school in England in premise that they would make a pro manual for him, still have not seen it." All the Jabiru owner's could get together & make a really good manual. spacesaailor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IBob Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 For what it's worth (evidently not much, nowadays) there used to be a convention among professional translators, however gifted (and some of those listening post spooks could be fluent in half a dozen languages, and competent in a dozen or so more) that formal translations were only ever done into their own native language... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Tuncks Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 How much does a d-motor really weigh ? If you were to swap your Jabiru engine for one, complete with cooling system, what would be the extra weight? Answers in Chinese accepted as long as they use arabic numerals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xair1159 Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 When I removed my Jabiru 2200 I weighed all the bits taken out at 68kg. Only items not included were the prop and spinner. The complete D-Motor installation with fluids and ready to run was 64kg. Add a prop and spinner which will be near identical. If anyone wants a detailed breakdown let me know. An overall saving of 4kg with a 15-20% increase in power (depending if you think a hyd tappet Jab actually produces 80hp) for the same fuel burn of 13-14L/hr A small but insignificant shift in empty CG on my aircraft which was nose heavy with the Jab, so it moved the right way. As of today I have just over 280hrs on the D-Motor and running well. Nick 5 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
