My view! If properly maintained iaw Jabiru manual, it is as good as any. It is a lightweight, simple, relatively low cost engine and there is , I feel, an awful lot of the typical Australian ‘tall poppy’ syndrome around it. My airframe is Zenith with a Jabiru engine, but at Warwick where I fly there are about half a dozen properly maintained Jabirus whose owners are happy plus a low wing Zenith with a six cylinder Jabiru. I really don’t know what it is with a lot of Australians but they seem to think foreign is better!
