Reported as safely in a paddock no injuries the jab haters jumped on it straight away. it could have run out of fuel. it doesn't automatically mean the engine had a fault. 1
FlyBoy1960 Posted Wednesday at 07:50 AM Posted Wednesday at 07:50 AM It must have been an engine failure ! 😁
facthunter Posted Wednesday at 08:29 AM Posted Wednesday at 08:29 AM People who own Jabiru Motors have put up with with a lot of crap over the years. It's really not fair. . 2 strokes have by far the Highest failure rates and some rare old engines would be worse still. Flown with due regard for the risk and a suitable choice of location it's all manageable. A lot of the stats were due to management. running out of fuel is seemingly becoming more common.

Jabiru7252 Posted Wednesday at 10:24 AM Posted Wednesday at 10:24 AM That was MY jab until a few years ago! Never had a thing go wrong, always started first go, purred like a kitten. Sold it because I'm the one that's likely to have an engine failure. 🤪 1 2 2
440032 Posted yesterday at 04:00 AM Posted yesterday at 04:00 AM I've personally had several Jabiru engine failures over the years. Calmly identified the problem, selected fuel ON, restarted, then resumed my taxi to the runup bay. 1 4
kgwilson Posted yesterday at 07:41 AM Posted yesterday at 07:41 AM (edited) Me too. The engine was running perfectly & I shut it down but could not get it to start again. I did all the trouble checks and found that the mags had to be on before it would run. Who woulda thought. Edited yesterday at 07:41 AM by kgwilson 4
