I know someone with a Jab 3300 in his. Eats up useful load what with the extra weight and extra fuel. Also his cruises at 90kt. Much better climb performance though.

Rollo Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Agreed completely. We have another aircraft called the Magpie that flies very well. Single seater, this aircraft been flying for Years. All the Computer work completed, and ready for production. This maybe a suitable replacement for the Supapup. Shall pop some pictures up soon on this site.

Rollo Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Yes was wondering about 90 knot cruise. The one I had for very short time cruised in mid 80's with Rotax 80hp. Jabiru 3300 I would have thought be up around the Ton (100knot) You mentioned great climb, maybe a climb prop rather than a cruise prop. Only a suggestion from me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's installed extra fuel tanks and done some other mods too (like dual joysticks). I thought the pups came with different sized tanks? Mine has 2 x 26l wing tanks plus an 8l auxiliary tank in front of the RH rudder pedals. I'd heard that some pups have larger tanks - like 45l? I should say I've been *told* that my pup has 2 x 26l wing tanks. I have yet to verify this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should say I've been *told* that my pup has 2 x 26l wing tanks. I have yet to verify this. I just assumed that they would have the same tanks . I see what you mean now, those 45 lt tanks would add a fair bit of weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
