cherk Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Warm summer evening flying in a Drifter cannot be beaten. AFAIK.......Jabbie engines can be a bit problematic with cooling in a pusher config. As I say AFAIK ! Could be wrong..........wouldn't be the first time.............or the last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fly_tornado Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Jab support various pushers, check their website for more details. Lots of Tornadoes have them but the Titan factory recommend the 912S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farri Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Hi Kevin, I know nothing about Jabiru engines so I can`t help there and without seeing the aircraft it is almost impossible to determine if it is " a decent flying ultralight " but I`ll try and help if I can. You say it is a 1996 Aussie drifter. Was it built in Australia and if so by who and is it wire braced ( WB ) or strut braced ( SB ) ? Frank.
