Lets get the facts right, shall we..............so explain all the facts so the good folk out there can understand them then. Exactly what did the folk at Jabiru have to say about the reason for failure.

As for slagging off at the instructors concerned, that was not me, and nor am I related to S7700 either, so my comment about "Taking off when the temps are in the red is not really a nice thing to do to any aircraft. " is still relevant until such time you can prove that an over temp engine at takeoff was not the cause. Unless the gauges were completely inaccurate, you have to at least question the whole thing.

Modern day Jabiru and most other aircraft engines dont normally fail that easily, I know it can and does happen, but its very rare. The facts as explained to me where quite plausible.

Besides 45 minutes or something similar at YSBK on a stinking hot day would drive anyone over the edge!
