A group of us are building a Pulsar and expect to license it in exp-LSA
and are seriously considering the 80 horse Jabiru as a powerplant. The
engine, and FWF kit are less than the Rotax, without having a gearbox to
complicate things.

Who out there has experience with this engine?
Strengths?
Weaknesses?


thank you -- The Jabiru looks like a quality engine!

some of the earlier engines have come to grief but factory support is
good.
i'm told that the hydraulic lifter model looks like seeing the full
tbo.
