    Default Anyone Use Jabiru 2200? Results?

    I have a Model 3 and am looking at a Jabiru 2200. Does anyone have experience good or bad with these?

    Thanks,
    Steve

    I've put over 500 hrs on a Jabiru engine in my Avid MK IV which is very comparable to a Kitfox 3. It has worked fairly well, take off and climb much like the 582 it replaced. Cruise was a good bit better. There are more and more used 912s becoming available now, and it's probably easier to get a motor mount for the 912 as well. I do know that my 80 HP 912 in my Kitfox 4 outperforms my 80 HP Jabiru in the Avid by a fair margin. In cruise and climb. JImChuk

    I had a 912 80 hp equipped model 3 and would highly recommend that engine over the 2200. Jim is spot on in the comparison between the two engines.
