Yes, the shifter - often called the pilots hammer. thumb_down:angry: egads

Hang in there Art, :thumb_up: there must be some somewhere - I'm just a Jabiru jockey. Hey, maybe there all out flying. :big_grin: regards :big_grin::big_grin:

I'm with you Geoff. Friend of mine negotiated a deal for long term hanger rent, only to find out on his first payment that it hadn't included the GST. Not impressed. regards

We Have a winner ----- That's right Bob - metric on the battery connections, and me with out the matching spanner %#@^. And it looks like their could be other too. (thanks Jack) G'day Nev - one thing I didn't consider was the pitch of the spark plugs. but do I need a metric spanner to remove them???? OK Maj I give up - why (are they metric)? (Did the French or Germans have something to do with it?) regards PS - You're a funny guy Tomo - listen to Planey - he knows a thing or two.

OK Boys (and Girls) - 64 dollar question. As far as I know (and I could be wrong) there are only two metric nuts/bolts on a Jabiru aircraft. Where are they? regards

Great Steve, keep us posted and I'll look forward to seeing you at Echuca. regards

G'day Steve, Where do you propose to launch your 'plane? Is there a strip near you or will you trailer to Echuca? regards

Yep - mine's the same. :thumb_up: 453 hours and running like a clock (a well oiled one). regards

I recon it's a 9. regards

How about: Current RA Aus Ops Manual Section 2.07-3 Para 5 Sub para e. sub sub para (1), and sub sub para (3) as I read it, your CFI can deem your BFR after interviewing you on the ground. (or have I got this a - about?) :hittinghead: regards

Yep, that's right :thumb_up: - and Jabiru does do the same. :thumb_up: regards :big_grin::big_grin:

Don't be so modest, Modest Pilot. Show us the photos. :thumb_up: regards :big_grin::big_grin:

Looks like you got a collectors item Chucky - could be worth millions..... regards :big_grin::big_grin:

I also acknowledge Slarti's contribution to fire up the Jabiru. :thumb_up: (OK - that's two of us) regards :big_grin::big_grin:

About three years ago we had quite a nasty accident here at Echuca. A visiting Jabiru (SP 6 cylinder - I think) decided to go around just before touchdown - full power applied, and then removed full flap - poor little bus fell like a stone and broke up rather spectacularly. :yuk: Occupants suffered some back trauma and cuts and bruising. :black_eye: These days with electric flaps (which are a lot slower than the old manual type) you get enough warning not to contine with it. :ah_oh: Qwerty - you did well, another lesson learned and experience gained. :thumb_up: regards

My prop on the Jabiru is starting to show a little wear (442 hours in use). i_dunno One side just looks a little worn (varnish? wise) (see pic 1) so I guess its a light sand and recoat, :thumb_up: but the otherside (see pic 2) looks as if the finish is bubbling, creating a cavity underneath the varnish. :confused: Must be plenty of knowledge out there - I await with keen interest. regards :big_grin::big_grin:

Can someone PM me and tell me what happened at Narromine? - Please. regards

Thats great Watto, how many hours? regards

Anyone out there in Jabiru land regularly using MOGAS instead of AVGAS? Does your motor run cleaner? Have you had any issues (like vapor lock etc)? regards

So......... Where are the cup holders?...... regards :big_grin::big_grin:

Gee thanks Tomo, that narrows it down a bit...... (must only be about 300 different models) regards :big_grin::big_grin:

Great pics there Tomo :thumb_up: - what camera? regards :big_grin::big_grin:

Pity it doesn't look as good in the flesh as the "artists impression" on the home page. regards

Well said octave - being on the wrong frequency is just another example of poor airmanship. regards
