The hk36 Dimona with either 100hp or 115hp is a large outlay and the
prop can easily be damages with the longish groundrun if there is any
stone at all on strip. At the moment I am trying to deceide engine
for a late model falke - Sauer 2700 105HP, Rotax 100HP or Jabiru
120HP. I have all the engineering done for the Jabiru by one of
Australia's most experienced Reg35 engineer and much can be done (and
MUST be) to get the Jabiru 6 cooling sorted out but it is still
aircooled. Props are cheap for Jabiru but are really important to get
climb. At the moment I am near complete with a Falke Jabiru 85HP
conversion but that is only for towing Libelles etc and then on
blacktop. The good thing about Jabiru for us in Australia is parts
cheap and overnight. I do know the French are doing a falke
conversion to towing without Scheibe approvals!! Ian McPhee
