It's interesting to see so many ill informed idiots on this site, you all need to get the facts before making stupid comments.

Yet again let down by a Jabiru, well done to your instructor I know exactly what he went through, only having the same thing happen to me a few weeks ago. I'm ready to start a class action on this mob at Jabiru, something needs to be done, before more people are seriously hurt. And the insurance companies aren't concerned, Jabiru blame everyone but themselves for the failures, so it's only the airframe that the insurance companies have to pay for, not the engines.

Well hi there everyone, I am the instructor that put the Jabby into the forementioned paddock and broke the nose leg, and walked away with my student without a scratch on either of us. Let me tell you all that if you are yet to experience a total engine failure and you are flying a six cylinder jabby, GET READY, because it's not a matter of if, but when. Jabiru need a good kick in the you know where, these six cylinder engines are a death trap for the inexperienced pilot. A total engine failure at 600 feet AGL leaves very little options and only calm minds and well practised emergency procedures will get you out of trouble. By the way, it was the circlip on number 3 cylinder coming loose and allowing the gudgeon pin to strike the cylinder wall and break the piston that caused the failure. Good luck Jabiru you are going to need it going forward!!!!!!

Hi All, I have just read about this fantastic web site and really keen to get on board and see what everyone is doing. Looking forward to catching up with everyone. Sunrayisa Flyer:wave:
