RV-9 vs Jabiru for Aussie builder (newbie)

The builder, Russ, is a great guy too. I hope he has success getting
that baby safely off the ground. It certainly looks the part and the
full size V12 power gives it a lot more street-cred (if such a phrase
can apply to an aircraft!) than any other replica (well, maybe the mad
German guys building all metal Fw190s from scratch might complain...).
Or the guys building the ME 262's. g
I was in awe, in the scope of the project, and perhaps most of all by the
workmanship visible in the pictures. It looked immaculate!
Even if I never had the skill to drive one of those, if I had the money, I
would build one, just to build it. I think it would be a blast!
What a project. Everyone NEEDS to take a look at it, if they did not look
at the link when it first came up. It is really something!
