MIKKIE

Thanks everyone for your help

Hi Mikkie - Westy here.I have an early 2200cc Jabiru engine ( generation 1 with solid lifters) - this has been a great engine and has never given me an ounce of trouble. Like Richard I change out the filters, oil and plugs at the appropriate intervals. Engine parts are available through Jabiru if needed.I have my Jab on the market as I haven't the time to fly these days - if interested see For Sale on the Jabiru site. Registration 55-3261

 

Regards

Put off flying for a long time. When I became 70 I said I'd do it before 71 - didn't make it, but made it by 72. Took my instruction with an "older" instructor in a Piper J3 Cub - a real hand full. Bought an Avid Flyer Mark IV with a Jabiru 2200A engine in it last year. Been spending the last few months making modifications to the Avid to make it an even better airplane. Hope to do some back country flying later this year.

I am thinking about buying an Avid Flyer built in the early 1990's with a Jabiru 2200, 80hp. Should I have concerns about getting parts for it in the future or anything else. It seems to be a good plane in good condition.

Hello all--and G'day from the PNW!Just bought a well-kept Avid Flyer with a 2200 Jab, sprightly little bird!Looking forward to summer skies (snowing here at the moment).

 

Cheers,
