    That looks like a beauty, David! Are you getting the 85 or the 120?

    85 has lots of power on my Classic IV, this will be my 3rd Jabiru on this airframe

    Hi Dave,
    Glad to hear you are going to soon be back in the air, engine looks very nice, I bet there is a bark in the exhaust system. Let me know when you are in the air we will meet for lunch.

    David, not to sound disparaging, but, why have you needed three engines?

    Yes, I was wondering the same thing.

    I do have a question, Do you have any issues with the Jabiru running in the cold? I know a guy that lives in cold country and he mentioned to me that is is a very 'cold blooded' engine. Any truth to that? He lives in the upper western US.

    . My 1st Jabiru was a early 80hp 2200 most of my problems we're overheating due to me not understanding cowling cooling, I did resolve that with help from other builders & had about 350 hrs on it when Jabiru came out with the 85hp Hydraulic lifter engine, had to have one, sold 80hp on Barnstormers & bought new, worked great for 800 hrs when cam lifter failed. Pete at Jabiru North America gave me fair trade deal for Gen4
