Hey Ken just to clear up something i,ve got some stats for you that might help explain the mistrust of jabiru engines ok have a read and then tell me there is nothing to worry about with jabs..... TL;DR. FACT: between 2009 and 2014, 1 in 10, Jabiru powered aircraft had an engine failure or malfunction, twice the rate (per hour flown) than any other manufacturer (3.21 per 10,000 hrs). ...will see if I can find anything that covers the last 6 years. https://www.atsb.gov.au/public.../2013/ar-2013-107_research/ Over the 6-year study period between 2009 and 2014, 322 engine failures or malfunctions involving light aircraft were reported to the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) and/or Recreational Aviation Australia (RA-Aus). These reports involved single-engine piston aeroplanes up to 800 kg maximum take-off weight. Aircraft powered by Jabiru engines were involved in the most engine failures or malfunctions with 130 reported over the 6 years. This represents about one in ten aircraft powered by Jabiru engines in the study set having reported an engine failure or malfunction. Reports from Rotax powered aircraft were the next most common with 87 (one in 36), followed by aircraft with Lycoming (58 – one in 35) and Continental (28 – one in 35) engines. When factoring in the hours flown for each of these engine manufacturers, aircraft with Jabiru engines had more than double the rate of engine failure or malfunction than any other of the manufacturers in the study set with 3.21 failures per 10,000 hours flown. Unlike the engines of other engine manufacturers in this study, nearly half of the Jabiru engine failures or malfunctions related to a fractured component. Engine through-bolt failures were the most commonly reported failure mechanism in Jabiru powered aircraft with 21 through-bolt fractures reported between 2009 and 2014. Taking into account the number of aircraft registered in the study period, through-bolt failures occurred in about one in 55 Jabiru powered aircraft. Although originally designed to be replaced after 1,000 hours, 19 through-bolts failed before the 1,000 hour mark, with seven failing before 500 hours. At least four failures involved engines with upgraded 3/8 inch diameter through-bolt nuts. There were no failures reported involving the newer 7/16 inch diameter through-bolts which are used in currently manufactured engines (present in about 20 per cent of Jabiru engines).

Yep your dead right ,i had to chase the buggers away and then the farmer come over with some star pickets and some orange safety fence stuff and helped me put a ring around the loehle until i could get my truck the next day and pick it up.

🥩 or T bone steaks or roast lamb maybe.🥩

...spot in the ditch faster then speedy gonzales and was last seen disappearing over the hill. Well the moving garbage bin thingy started turning towards onesie and...............

Most cow farmers i,ve met would go out of their way to help you in this situation ,,when i landed in a "cow farm PADDOCK' the farmer offerred everything from the use of his sheds to store my aircraft and the use of his tractors and trucks etc and even made me some sandwiches and a nice cup of tea. Not one mention of damage to the "grass" or frightened cattle ,[the bloody things where more curious then frightened] might be a different matter if you landed in barley or wheat and started a fire ?,

a bit like Normandy or Scotland . You didn't see this fella around it did ya onesie?said Bull he might have been the one to bring in the stuka.,Suddenly cappy screamed,,,,,,, into the ditch everyone ,,,,,,as an strange looking moving garbage bin looking thing started screaming ,,""exterminate,exterminate" whilst swinging its trunk thingy around and pointed it at turdo who.............................

Yes you are right there,he was lucky that paddock was there as there is LOTS of tassie tiger country around here that does not leave you much chance . And he has done a very good job ,he is in one piece and so is the jab more or less.

Taildragger would have gone over it, but i digress , my apologies for not seeing those rocks and ,yes he has done a fine job and taildraggers are not immune either,i personally had my 503 fail [fuel pump] and landed in a paddock and hit the only little ditch [not seen from the air ] and destroyed my undercarriage on my loehle a while ago [ if you look along the wing line just above it you can see the little ditch]

He does have a jab on his avatar so just trying to defend the undefendable i suppose,,lol

Have a good look at that paddock Ken ,no rocks no gulles just tufts of grass hmmm.........

Sure is , and notice the weak nosewheel failed as it does in nearly all outlandings in a jab?

Another jab has gone down in Tassie, pilot is ok no word on why engine failed yet,, https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-11-30/tasmania-police-responds-to-light-aircraft-crash-in-stanley/12933892?fbclid=IwAR1B54fSkh4a01pt8rvttYboQ8TjPoxhFxgp-ChT7vGYtJXEMflQm9AFpJ0

Sir Nobus underpants [he had flown through a time gate and was decimating the german aircraft with his zelo]pooo said turdo how long have you had them on? Well said Nobu the last time i changed them was in 1945 so subtract from that,hmm about 27 years i think. Anyway can you guys help me find some 20mm cannon shells and some 7,7 machine gun bullets? I used them all up fighting that strange red plane with 3 wings, i got him but some bloody aussie reckons he got him with a 303 really? a bloody 303 do you believe that why ........

Bowen aerodrome in Qld has successfully flown a model rc club every sunday for decades, with no problems and is approved by the airport operator[council]and works on the same principal, of radio monitoring and stopping all rc flight until clear.

this was suddenly all drowned out by the sound of a french Nord screaming overhead and dropping a 44 gallon drum [they where a bit peeved about only getting three references in the NES],,as the drum slowly rotated [avref] as it fell clearly a word could be seen written on it,,,,Oh no screamed onesie run for your lives its........
