Hi all My 28 hour 6 cylinder engine has been running very sweetly but decided to have a rest as my wheels touched the ground this morning. Pleasantly peaceful but a bit alarming if I'd needed a go-round. Idling was between 850-900, long powered approach, closed throttle over the threshold and kept it closed through the roundout,flare and touchdown. Restarted first push and I attempted to reproduce the problem but no luck. Still idling at 850-900. Any thoughts - I'd really be pleased if it didn't occur again! Cheers Chris

I'm looking at selling my Jabiru J230 and buying a Sportstar. Who knows where the Australian distibutor is based? Any Sporstar owners in Queensland? Cheers Chris Townsville FNQ

Lets do it Thanks - I am venturing forth as we speak with a Dremel, a small angle grinder, 5 minute araldite, a few files and a bible. May speak again deo volente Cheers

I'm tired of running out of forward trim at cruise, despite all the usual remedies involving springs,split pins, going to the gym more often etc. Who has had the nerve to grind the bloody things off - and what happened next! Cheers Chris

Hi All. A N Other Jabiru Pilot (J230) just landed- based at Starke Field, near Townsville, North Queensland. Finally getting airborne after many frustrating months grounded trying to track down a short in the radio circuitry. Never ever going to homebuild again! Cheers Chris
