Hi Guys,

The bolt head without a washer is much thinner than a nut and washer You might deepen the spot facing on the caliper IF it doesn't weaken it. You can round the edges of the nut as well provided there is enough hex to hold it when tightening the nut. Nev

automatic pitch changing no but the carbon fiber coated one was a great tuff prop on the 2200 j170 heaps less trouble than jab props

when this happened to me i blocked off the side that failed by folding and tying with lockwire then filling up with brake fluid again and bleeding, it stops very good on 1 brake just to get you home a lot better than no brakes i then fitted the dual calaper design it looks a lot stronger than the single t plate.

have seen exhaust valves stick in from carbon on the valvestem in the 2200 once fixed it self after about 5 min another time had to land and take head off to free valve & put new one in,it shakes quite violently on 3 cylinders it wouldnt happen with solid tappets

also keep an eye on aluminium backing plate, i had my j170 throw a brake caliper not long ago at around a thousand hours and it belted the side a few times then fell off,have since updated to dule caliper brakes and new disks.

go to the jabiru.net.au web site & under Manuals find post-paint_fuselage & click on Wheel Alignment should answer your questions.

I think the recon solid lifter engine is more bullet proof the new hydrolic lifter engines are easyer to maintain though just dont supercool them most through bolts break after practicing simulated engine failure (windmilling the prop on decent+engine shock cooling) they also use a tad more fuel due to bigger jeting than solid lifter.

Ive had my j170 use 25 L h or 100 L for 4 h flight @ 3000 fully loaded with cruse prop other times same power settings only using 75 L for 4 h flight.

no thanks maybey she could make some for sale in Clear Prop? jab owners thoughts?

no but if you find out I want one for the j170 too.
